The Mac OS Report 

Number two in a series -the facts about Mac OS 8 




Mac’ os 8 is coining. It will give you, 
and millions of other Macintosh' users, 
a whole new way of working. 

It Willie your ^ple' 

Macintosh computer (or, for that 
mattei; any other 
Mac OS computer of 
your choice) a dramatic new 
look and feel, along with all kinds of enhanced capa- 
bilities for accessing the Internet. 

It will also set an entirely new standard of poweriul, 
intuitive computing— a standard the competition can try 
to catch up to. (Again.) 

A new way of working 

The moment you start using Mac OS 8, you’ll feel 
the difference: you’ll find yourself accomplishing more in 
less time. A multi-threaded Finder”lets you execute mul- 
tiple tasks simultaneously, such as launching applications 
and copying files. Mac OS 8 includes new information- 
mam^ement tools, such as contextual pop-up menus 
and sprii^-loaded folders, that give you quicker and easier 
access to all your information. A scalable environment 
lets you either limit your menu and window options, or 
expand them— whichever works better for you. A new, 
dimensional look makes the interface more dynamic 
and engaging than ever. And Mac OS 8 also includes the 
latest versions of QuickTime* with its MPEG support, 

QuickTime VR and 
QuickDraw's!). 

How easy is it 
to get going with all 
these new technolo- 
gies and 'features? 
Very. Because our new installer and setup assistants take 
you throu^ each step of configuring your new system 




software. Once you’re up and running, PowerPC’-native 
code improves your performance. Mac OS 8 is also com- 
pletely compatible with all PowerPC and 68040-based 
hardware and software. 

A new way of accessing 
;; the Internet 

Mac OS 8 includesTCP/IP and PPP for easy network 
dr modem access direct from the Finder. You get Netsc^e 
N^gatoi;"Microsoft*lnternet Eb^lorer’and the PointCast 
Network: And a new Internet Setup Assistant makes it 
easier than ever to get on the Net, whether you’re doing 
it from home with a modem or from work with a high- 
speed connection. Personal web sharing is standard, soyou

can turn any Mac into 
an Internet web server 
And Java" support is 
built in, so you can run 
Java applications just 
as though they were any other desktop applications. (If you 
were wondering, Windows’ 95 can’t do this.) 

And mere advancements 
are cn the way 

Mac os 8 js,,pnf of the most sigm’ficant advances in 
OS technology ever And ifs just the beginning— additional 
upgrades are planned. And our support for the Mac OS 
will continue for years. 

At the same time, we’re also working on an industrial- 
strength OS, code-named Rhapsody, that will offer features 
such as protected memory, preemptive multitasking and 
symmetric multiprocessing. RhapsodywiU also provide 
backwards compatibility, so you can be sure that the vast 
majority of your Mac OS apps will run on Rhapsody, too. 

In other words: Apple is still developing the most 
innovative, user-friendly and consistently superior prod- 
ucts on the market, Thatk one part of our system that 
won’t change. Tb learn more, visit www.macos.apple.com.

A Visual Tour of Mac OS 8 

It’s here at last— the Mac OS that used to be called Copland before Apple killed Copland and 
then renamed the whole project Tempo and eventually settled on a real name of Mac OS 8. 
Whatever. The point is, Apple’s latest Mac OS is simply fantastic and even includes some 
Windows-stomping features. Here’s the ultimate 16-page visual guide to what’s new in Mac

design programs. And, yes, all but one includes gratuitous flamenco dancer clip art.

Navigator hit version 3.x, the memory 
requirements skyrocketed, and the 
program started crashing about, oh, 
every three seconds, Internet Explorer, 
on the other hand, has been stable, 
requires relatively Utde memory, and is 
easy to manage. 

Fortunately, Netscape has a Mac 
beta available of its latest version of 
Navigator — Communicator. This new 
version promises to take up only 4MB 
of RAM and, along with Mac OS 7.6.1 
(and Mac OS 8), provide better stabil- 
ity. (It also has a bunch of other new 
features, although these are geared 
mostly toward corporate users.) Now if 
only Netscape would do something 
about its awkward bookmark man^e- 
ment features and its ugly interface 
and.... 

Number three: software piracy. 

“Last week, I purchased a used 
Power Mac 9500. The ovmer was 
upgrading and transferred all of his 
software to his new computer. However, 
his 9500 still had Photoshop, Illustrator, 
SiteMiU, PageMill, After Effects, Director, 
LogoMotion, TextureScape, Microsoft 
Office, and many others installed. Will 
I go to hell if I do not erase those 
unlicensed programs?” 

Religious issues aside, I doubt seri- 
ously that you’ll go to hell if you keep — 
and use — the programs. To purgatory, 
maybe; to heck, definitely. But to hell, 
no. (Of course, if this were shareware 
and you decided to keep it without pay- 
ing, then you’d definitely go to hell.) 

We all know that software piracy 
(and keeping and using programs you 
didn’t buy is piracy) is illegal as well as 
just plain wrong. Yet, even the most 
ethical among us might be tempted to 
keep programs such as these, which 
sort of fall from heaven. What would we 
at MacAddict do? Dam good question. 
And one that, fortunately, we aren’t fac- 
ing. But we do hope that you’ll decide 
to pay for anything you end up using a 
lot — or at least that you feel incredibly 
guilty if you don’t. —Cheryl England

editor’s note 



Random thoughts that have lots to do with lots of important stuff. 



OK, as usual, my Editor’s Note is late, 
(It’s not my fault, really. There were a bunch 
of phone calls to return and letters to 
answer and issues to plan and Web sites to 
check out and new products to try and 
shareware to qualify and, well, you get the 
idea. But unlike usual, this time it is really 
late.. That means that you get my once-a-year 
oddball collection of things that have been 
on my mind lately. 

Number one: Mac OS 8. 
You’ll get the full story inside, 
including screenshots of just 
about everything that’s new. 
But let me state right here and 
right now that this new OS is 
indeed great. The ability to 
copy multiple files is going to 
save me tons of time. Being 
able to customize the look of 
the Finder (the way I can with 
folders), along with the new tabbed win- 
dows feature, is going to reshape the way I 
set up and use my Desktop. And, although it 
took me a few tries to get used to it, having 
windows close automatically is a lot like 
having someone run along behind me and 
pick up my clothes as I take them oft after 
work. Look for more Mac OS 8 tips and 
hints in future issues. 

Number two: browsers. 

I admit it: I’ve been using Microsoft 
Internet Explorer as my main browser. And I 
feel guilty about it because I just know I’m 
playing into Microsoft’s hands. Get me 
hooked, knock the other browsers out of 
the picture, and then start charging me, or 
pushing ads at me, or adding Windows 
interface elements, or any other number of 
mean and evil things. 

But, geez, I gave up using Cyberdog (still 
too buggy for my tastes) , and when Netscape 



Where will you go if you use 
those pirated programs? To 
purgatory, maybe; to heck, 
definitely. But to hell, no.

*^WAV is the spiFfiest word 
to come along in several yea 
elegant and intuitive, and its ii 
Internet services are a godsr 



Imagine the control and the freedom to focus 
on your documents, instead of on bloated, "legacy" 
applications. You decide what functionality you need, 
or don't need, and you plug it in. Imagine the 
power of components helping you work faster 
and easier in an intuitive workspace with true 

drag and drop 
capabilities. With 
WAV, simply grab 
and place nearly 
inything you want to 
utilize in your documents — period. Java” Applets, URLs, 
component parts, Netscape"" plug-ins, e-mail text files. 
Word"* and WordPerfect* files, HTML files, PICTs, GIFs, 
JPEGs, graphs, sound files and QuickTime"" movies all 
become integrated parts of WAV documents— 
links to system-consuming, traditional applications. 
Imagine utilizing "net data instead of just 
browsing it by dragging websites, information and 
netfiles across your screen and dropping them directly 
into your documents. With WAV, the Internet 
is built in, and truly 
becomes your own 
personal document 
resource. Imagine 
the flexibility of 
embedding cyber- 
buttons with direct 
links to'netsites — 
or if you prefer, embedding the sites themselves as 
living parts of your documents. Imagine virtually 
no learning curve and great compatibility with ail 
your old stuff. 

Stop imagining. 

Catch the WAV. 



MacWorld Exoo^97 - Apple’s* Component Theatre 
helps Macintosh users from around the world 
experience the simplicity and power of WAV. 



The Next Generation Desktop"* 



Folder Bay - Simple-to-use, easily acces- 
sible text controls are located here. You - 
can also add your own project foldersi 

Cyber Button - Create single-click hot 
links from within your document to any 
Web, network, or other file location. 
Instantly launch local applications, sound 
or movie files, images and more. 

Embedded Part - WAV Documents are 
living documents* where components can 
interact with each other— as well as with 
WAV. In this case, 

“Numbers & Charts’” 

(component parts 
from Adrenaline' 

Software)* display data in an active-3D 
graph linked to a spreadsheet As data is 
edited, the graph automatically updates. 

Dynamic Text VYrap - When you drag a 
part into your document, youil see how - 
existing text wraps around the part as you 
move it-all in real time! 

Embedded Web Page - Never before has 
a world-class word processor come with 
built-in Internet navigation, browsing, 
viewing and retrieval tools as a part of its 
control panel. When you open documents, 
WAV automatically opens live home pages 
or other embedded sites. 



Other straightforward editing features include full tabs, colored text, search and replace, AppleGuide help, text 
to speech, word count, justification control, and full line-spacing. Most people only use about 3% of the text-editing 
features found in their traditional word processors. Now, you no longer need to lug around all that stuffi With 
component technology and WAV, if you need extra text-handling features, simply plug them in later. 



*WAV installs complete with OpenDoc, Cyberdoq CNet Browser, E-mail, 'Net Search,

what you do for a living? 



Ever since the day you first wrapped your 
fingers around a crayon, you’ve been driven 
by the need to create. The way you create, 
however, has changed beyond recognition. Or 
at least beyond Mom and Dad’s recognition. 

Apple* Macintosh* computers have always 
understood people who create. In the words 
of I.D. Magazine, “The designer-friendly 
quality that characterizes the Mac is deep in 
the machine!’ Now, with our newest Power 
Macintosh* lineup, it’s even deeper. 

We understand your need for speed. 
The faster your computer, the more time you 
have to experiment. That’s why we created 
the Power Mac* 96OO/2OOMP with dual 
PowerPC” processors. It blows away a PC 
with dual Pentium* Pro processors running 
Windows NT!* In fact, Adobe'Photoshop runs 



50 % faster on a Power Mac” Which translates 
into 50% less time staring at your screen and 
waiting for your computer to finish retouch- 
ing photos, manipulating images or applying 
filters. Valuable time you could be spending 
actually doing all those things. 

We understand your need for flexibility. 
Some days you need to add memory. Some 
days, an expansion card (or three). With 
a Power Mac 8600 or 
9600 you won’t need 
an MIS person, or even' 
a screwdriver to do it. 
Push a button and they 
open up simply and 
gracefully, placing the logic board at your 
fingertips. So you can do what you need to 
do and get back to doing what you love. 



We understand your need to see how 
graphics will look in Windows. 

Now you don’t have to go out and buy a PC 
just to see how web sites and graphics you’ve 
created on a Mac* will look in Windows! Just 
add a I66 MHz Pentium PC compatibility 
card, and your Power Mac can run Windows 
95 or Windows 3.1 applications. You can also 
access a Windows network and exchange 
files with clients and other less fortunate 
folks who happen to use Windows. 

For an even better understanding of the 
computers that understand you, visit us at 
www.powermacintosh.apple.com. Or call 
us at 8OO-538-9696 for the name of the 
Power Mac reseller nearest you. And then, if 
you haven’t lately, call your mother.

Ever since I first heard the call of the wild 
eep, I’ve been mesmerized by its cry. And yet, 
I have a burning question that I just have to 
ask someone. I’ve searched far and wide for 
a willing and wise ear for my query, and feel 
that your magazine has ended my long 
search. Having said all that, my question is 
this: If there is such a thing as the wild eep.

we’d want one. (We love ours, too.) “We are 

going to give you permission 
to do whatever you want to 
with Max,” say Andy and 
Joey. “Hold CDs, back 
issues, mail, a little 
trash can, whatever— with 
the exception of mutilation.” 
We wouldn’t dream of it. 




then what- 
ever happened to 
the domesticated eep? 
— Rebecca Ann Merrill 

The domestic variety is of the genus 
boring: b. eep, or beep, for short. Less 
intelligent varieties ofb. eep are known as 
''Simple Beep.'' 

Big Ones, at That 

My friends and I just finished a half hour of 
killing each other in Marathon, using the 
floor plan you included in your (May/97) 
CD. And we would just like to say. . .man, do 
you guys ever have a lot of guns in your 
office! — Guinevere Orvis 

Not Anymore 

I broke up with my girl because she bought a 
PC. Do I have a problem? — -Jeff Morrison 

Get Rid of the Wife 

I have all the issues oi MacAddict plus other 
Mac magazines that I have been subscribing 
to for the past four years. I am reaching a 
point where storage space is a problem 
around my workstation at home. My wife 
wants me to get rid of my old magazines. It’s 
very strange to say, but I find it hard to part 
with my old magazines. Is this a symptom of 
a Mac addict? How can I save my magazines? 
— Joseph Scatuffe 



Loonies! Coo, Coo! 

Cheryl England’s Mac may wear head- 
phones, but mine has a stuffed armadillo 
on top of it. (That’s stuffed as in toy, not 
^ stuffed as in “Big Bob’s Taxidermy: 
|B^ You snuff ’em, we stuff ’em.”) 
f The armadillo’s name is Hal. My 
roommate’s ex-boyfriend won him 
in Las Vegas. The boyfriend went, 
and I got the armadillo. And I bet 
that’s just what you wanted to 
know, too. Completely by coinci- 
dence, I happened to paint my nails the 
same sUghtly hideous color of green that 
you use in your How To section about an 
hour before the mag arrived. I’ve never writ- 
ten you before. Now you see why. <Add 
maniacal laughter here.> — ^Alexandra 
Geiatt, NewYork, NY 

When I pulled my May issue of MacAddict 
out of the mailbox I discovered an evil Mail 
Fraud!!!!! The top left comer of my maga- 
zine — the part where it said “100% PC 
Free” — ^was half ripped off. I suspect that it’s 
some evil government plot to drive Apple out 
of business and have Microsoft rule the 
world!!!! Hahahahahaha! Oh my god! A big 
white van just pulled up in front of my house 
and three people wearing white clothes 
jumped out with a net and a fuimy looking 
jacket!!!! Help!!! Hahahahahhahahahaha. 
— ^Mark Frenkel, Huntington Woods, MI 

Uh, None? 

OK, how many people can say they have their 
car speakers hooked up to their Performa 
450? — Jerry Nash, South Dakota 

Ummm, It’s Too Late 

In “Welcome io MacAddict Ldb" (May/97, 
p46), you compared the mass of the scan- 
ners on the moon and on Earth. Ummm, they 
should be the same. Mass never changes, 
even in a different gravitational field. I can 
only assume you meant weight (which is 
dependent on the magnimde of “g”). I don’t 
re^y care, I just don’t want you guys to look 
stupid. — Jerud Crandall, Raleigh, NC 



10 MaeADDICT 




Fascinating! 

As I read “Ropin’ in Extensions” (May/97, 
p48), I noticed something. You can 
rearrange the letters in the Microsoft 
Word/Excel “vba en olb” extension to form 
such interesting phrases as “Venal Bob,” 
“Navel Bob,” and “oven blab.” Just thought 
you’d like to know. — Shav Fuhon 

I played tennis tonight. Pretty fiin. I took 
Canton along and tied him on the side. The 
pup has lost his tennis privileges, though, as 
he barked the whole time. Apparently, he 
wanted to chase the ball. — ^William Tangeman 

Brilliant! 

I guess Reuben Reynoso isn’t married... or 
somebody would have told him to shut up by 
now! — ^Tessa Cain 

We haven 't heard from Reuben in a month 
or so. Maybe be got married . . . . 

Beware the Curse 

I just read your Editor’s Note in the May 
issue, which I found very funny. But 
Macintosh owners aren’t the oiily people who 
display the seven bizarre behaviors. I have 
never owned a Mac, and I display all seven. 

1. We talk to them. 

I talk to my Wintel all the time, although 
most of what I say can’t be reprinted in your 
respectable magazine. Well, at least without 
using characters like !@#*!@. 

2. We name them. 

Again, mostly unprintable, except on a 
good day when I call mine Borg and my hard 
drives C of Borg and D of Borg. 

3. We decorate them. 

That’s where the Apple logo stickers go. 

4. We make them produce sounds. 
Actually, Windows 95 makes plenty of 

sounds on its own. . .as much as it crashes or 
has an error, one would think I was obsessed 
with sound files. 

5. We save them. 

Can’t get them out of the house quick 
enough. . .they just keep piling up as I try to 
upgrade and keep up. So I’ve given up on 
throwing them away... now they are 
doorstops and flower presses. 



6. We assign feelings to them. 

Usually the feeling is anger. 

7. We’re possessive of them. 

“Hey, get away from my PC... you’re 
messing up my shot!” or “No, it’s MY PC. . .1 
get to throw it from my third-story window.” 

As you can see, Wintel owners are not that 
dissimilar from Mac owners. We’re people, 
too! We’ve just had one or two bad things 
happen in our lives and ended up with a PC. 
Some of us had no choice — dam family curse 
of the hand-me-down PC. — ^Patrick Settle 

Finally! Thoughtful 
Comments 

Of special interest to me in the interview 
with MacSofl’s vice president, Peter Tamte 
(May/97, p96), was the topic of mail order 
versus re^ sales. I live in a fairly active 
retail area that draws shoppers from a wide 
area, yet we don’t have any of the stores Mr. 
Tamte mentioned. If a local store sold Mac 
software, would I buy it from them? Certainly. 
But that is not an option. Although improving 
sales in current stores is worthwhile, more 
important to many of us is getting stuff into 
more accessible stores! Until I have a store 
within easy shopping distance, I need to buy 
via mail order. — ^Andy Smith, Hanover, PA 

In your May issue (p33), you suggest 
naming a folder “.downloads”. I think I read 
somewhere that beginning a name with a 
period was bad and that it could possibly 
crash the Mac because toolbox routines 
begin with a period, or some reason hke that. 
Do you know if that’s true? — ^Nathan Loontjer 
According to Apple engineers, ifs OK to use 
the period, unless you plan to transfer the 
file to a Unix ^stem. The only disallowed 
character in naming a file is the colon. 

OOPSIES 

In “25 Mouth-watering Gizmos” (Jun/97, 
p40), we said Momentum (808-947-0055) 
advises against plugging a modem into the 
Portjuggler. We were wrong. The Power Port- 
Jug^er is compatible with all fax modems. 

KeyCrasher (“Ropin’ in Extensions,” 
May/97, p48) no longer is included in Now 
Software’s Now Utilities.

i Cdft vtrw $unr 1 <g Help 







E ach May, Apple’s faithful 
developers make the trek 
to San Jose, California, to 
attend the Worldwide 
Developer Conference (WWDC). 
They meet to schmooze, learn neat 
tricks, get new tools, and compare 
T-shirts. This year, everybody was 
anticipating the latest developments 
in Rhapsody, Apple’s next-generation 
operating system (see Apr/97, p38). 
Apple relayed shocking news: For the 
first time, the 
company will 
sell an operat- 
ing system that 
runs on Intel 
hardware. 

How could 
the company 
commit such 
blasphemy? By 
blending NeXT 
Software tech- 
nology with its own, Apple will be able 
to provide its new software in four 
different ways: 

Rhapsody for PowerPC 

will run only on Macintoshes (and 
compatibles) shipping since January 
1997 (most 604- and 603e-based 
. systems). The yellow box is the new 
heart of the operating system, the 
blue box supports current Mac OS 
programs, and there will be a super- 
speedy Java virtual machine. On top of 
all that is the “advanced Macintosh 
look and feel” — the Mac OS 8 inter- 
face plus some NeXToid widgets. 




Yellow Box for Mac OS wiu 

allow some Macs made before 1997 to 
run Rhapsody apps. Allegro, the next 
version of the Mac OS after 8, will be 
required for this support, but it’s not 
clear yet which Macs will be able to 
run Allegro.

ONE OF THE FIRST RHAPSODY APPS, 
this QuickDraw 3D viewer was written in 
Java. Although the user interface is pre- 
liminary, notice the proportional scroll 
thumbs and the Mac OS 8 windows. 



Intel hardware (such as OS/2 and 
Linux). You won’t be able to run Mac 
OS programs on it, but Mactel will 
have the advanced Macintosh look and 
feel instead of NeXT’s user interface. 

Win sod y — the yellow box for 
Windows — allows both Windows 95 
and Windows NT to run software writ- 
ten for the yellow box. It will have the 
Windows look and feel. 

Another first: Apple directly 

compete with Microsoft’s operating 
system on Intel hardware. Microsoft 
will not take this lying down — expect 
plenty of FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) 
to be disseminated from the Redmond 
mothership. Because you’ll be able to 
get everything but Mac OS compatibility 
on Intel hardware, Apple 
will need to design incred- 
ible hardware to keep you 
on the PowerPC platform. 
Fortunately, the PowerPC 
will be outperforming the 
Pentium for a while (see 
“Pentium Versus PowerPC,” 
p21). Going to Intel, how- 
ever, will give Apple devel- 
opers a huge audience: They 
can develop on the yellow 
box, and their applications 
will run on Rhapsody for PowerPC and 
Intel, Windows 95 and NT, and future 
versions of the Mac OS. Now all i^ple 
has to do is execute. — DR

Pentium Versus PowerPC 



Match of the millennium pits beauty against brawn 



Y OU used to be able to match 
up Intel’s 286, 386, and 486 
chips against Motorola’s 
68020, 68030, and 68040— 
the digits matched so well. Differ- 
ences between the Pentium and 
PowerPC are not so readily apparent. 
Motorola still uses numbers for the 
PowerPC chip, but Intel has spent too 
much money branding the Pentium 
name to call its chips anything else. 
We set up the MAWF {MacAddict 
Wrestling Federation) Super 
Slugfest to see which chip 
packs the most punch, To be 
perfectly fair, we set up the 
rounds matching chips in 
the same price range and 
intended market. 

Cruiserweight 

The Pentium and PowerPC 
601 weigh in at the low end. 
Although nobody sells a Mac com- 
patible with a 601 in it anymore, 
low-grade Pentiums are available for 
the less discerning. Pound for pound, 
an old 601 will take out the Pentium. 

Tag-Team Champion 

The 603e wins for taking on both 
the Pentium with MMX and the mobile 
Pentium with MMX, Desktop Macs 
sport 603e chips at speeds of up 
to 300MHz; PowerBooks, at up to 
240MHz. Pentiums with MMX max out 
at 200MHz, while the laptops poke 
along at l66MHz. Da winner: 603e. 



MAWF Television 
Champion 

Any PC with MMX gets a fuchsia 
medal. According to Intel commer- 
cials, you need MMX technology to 
use the Internet and view multimedia. 




No contest — Motorola needs to 
spend some bucks on advertising 
the PowerPC. 

King of the Ring 

The next-generation Pentium, the 
P6 — the original Pentium was a P5 — 
isn’t named the Sexium, although that 
would have made a great ring name. 
Instead, the Pentium’s managers 



capitalized on the propaganda 
generated for its predecessor and 
dubbed it the Pentium Pro. This 
heavyweight challenges the 604e in 
the high-end workstation arena. 
Fortunately, the Pentium Pro tops 
out at 200MHz, leaving the crown 
for the superspeedy 2 50MHz 604e. 

Royal Rumble 

The Pentium H uses the Pentium 
Pro design, slows it down to 
make it cheaper, but adds 
MMX. Right now, the com- 
petition in the same price 
range is still the 603e. The 
Pentium II will compete 
at up to 300MHz, just like 
the 603e. Fortunately, 
Motorola has a third- 
generation (G3) chip 
code-named Arthur waiting 
in the wings. Currently, 
though, this match is a draw. 
Toward the end of ’97, look 
for MAWF Super Slugfest H, in 
which Motorola’s G3 chip code- 
named Mach 5 takes on tibe next- 
gen Pentium Pro, code-named 
Deschutes. Although the pretty- 
boy Deschutes reportedly wHl run 
on a lOOMHz bus, we’re placing 
our bets on the speed racer’s new 
process and cache designs. Unlike 
the organizations pitting the pitiful 
Pentium II against the Mach 5, 
the MAWF would never fix a fight.

Apple Spins 
Off Newton 



S : 

: 



teve Jobs may have more influence at the new Apple than anyone 
could have guessed. During his “fireside chat” at the Apple Worldwide 
Developer Conference, he commented that it would be difficult for any 
company to be successful developing two 
operating systems (Mac OS and Rhapsody), much 
less three (Newton). Right or wrong, six days 
later, the Newton group was its own company. 

The yet-to-be-named company will take over development and manufacturing 
of Newton technology. The products will be sold by both the new company 
and licensees. As a licensee, Apple will continue to market and sell the eMate, 
while the new company takes over the MessagePad 2000. 

This moves reinforces that Apple really is trying to focus on its core com- 
petencies: education, publishing, small business, and home. The Newton was 
succeeding in places Apple didn’t understand: medical facilities, sales forces, and 
field service work. By letting go of the Newton, Apple gets to keep that which It under- 
stands, the eMate, and allows the new company to grow into different markets. — KT

A true warrior in the battle for the paperless office, sometimes you 
become discouraged. Sure, you preach “Convenience breeds 
apathy” to your office co-workers, but sometimes it’s so difficult to 
scan everything into your Mac, especially when you happen across 
the occasional color chart that can’t be recycled. And it takes so long 
to scan each memo, credit card receipt, and business card, espe- 
cially with that aging flatbed scanner. What you could really use 
(aside from a relaxing weekend at the World Recycling Expo and 
Tofu Shoppe) is a fast, small color scanner. VIsioneer has heard 



your plea, fellow warrior, and wants to help. With the PaperPort 
Strobe, you can scan black-and-white or color documents into your Mac quickly and painless- 
ly. With the bundled Xerox Textbridge, PictureWorks PhotoEnhancer, and Connectix 
QuickCards software packages, you can do 

optical character recognition, image editing, SPEEDY, EASY COLOR SCANNING FOR YOUR DESKTOP, 
scanning of business cards. The 

Strobe has a small footprint (easing use of desktop resources) and, best of all, was 
on animals (they don’t scan well, anyhow, what with all that fur). To strike a blow for arbor 
rights, call VIsioneer at 510-608-0300, or bring up http://www.visioneer.com on your Web browser.

What’s 

Especially 










ac OS 8 includes a ton of new fea- 

^JJtures, but here are five standouts: 

• THREADED FINDER-Finaliy, you can copy 
several files at once, empty the Trash, and 
still continue to work. 

• POWERPC-NATIVE FINDER AND PARTS OF 

THE SYSTEM—You’II notice a speed jump if 
you're using Mac OS 8 on PowerPC hard- . 
ware, especially when scrolling through a 
long document. 

• SPRING-OPEN FOLDERS--Just drag a file 
over a folder, and the folder springs openr^;. 
You can go as deep as you like into your 
folder structure without doubte-cifcking a 
single folder, and all of the intermediate fold- 
ers snap closed when you stop dragging, ; 

• PLATINOM APPEARANCE-Grayscale ap 
pearance, beveled wsrtdows, and new 
windows give your Mac a makeover. . 

• EASIER INSTALLATION AND SETUP-With the 
simplified installer and the new Mac OS 
Setup Assistant and Internet Setup 
Assistant, getting up and running on a 
new Mac System has never been easier. 



26 MacADDlCim] 



A pple will ship Mac OS 8 this summer. It will, it 
will, it will. It simply has to because we all want it 
so badly. 

The new OS offering from everyone’s favorite fruit 
company has insides, but probably the first thing 
you’ll notice when you see Mac OS 8 is that it looks 
and acts differently from any other Mac OS: The whole 
system has a grayscale appearance (what Apple 
terms its platinum appearance), with windows that 
have the Copland look, complete with beveled title 
bars, new window types, and new controls; the icons 
stand out in 3D, especially the folders; the System 
Folder has a ton of new “blessed” folders; and even 
the cursor and the Trash have changed. 

It’s time to grab your field glasses, intrepid adven- 
turer, and accompany MacAddict on a visual tour 
of Mac OS 8. You’ll have the opportunity to see the 
beautiful Appearance Manager Extension, several vari- 
eties of contextual menus never before seen in these 
parts, and if you’re lucky and stealthy, the rare spinning 
arrows or even a read-only window icon. Heady stuff, 
we know, but with this field guide in your hands, you’ll 
be an OS 8 expert before the System even ships. 









Also, If you own 
Connectix Copy 
Doubler and Now 
Utilities, you can 
get some of the 
benefits of the 
threaded Finder, 
Including multiple 
copies, tabbed 
windows, and an 
expanded Copy 
Status box.

New Menus 

P erhaps the most difficult thing to get 
used to in Mac OS 8 is the new 
menus. The Finder menus changed more 
than in any previous single incarnation of 
the operating system. The File menu 
includes two great key-command equiva- 
lents, and the Label menu moved here. 
These additions make the Finder cleaner 
and easier to use. Also, menus are sticky, 
as in — gasp! — ^Windows 95. 

Edit Menu 

The Edit menu is relatively 
unchanged. The Show Clipboard 
command now is grouped with the 
other Clipboard commands (where it 
belongs). The Edit menu now 
includes a Preferences... command, 
which calls up the Finder Preferences 
dialog box. Finder Preferences has 
some options from the previous 
Views control panel, the previous 
Labels control panel, and controls for 
spring-open folders. It also includes a 
checkbox to allow you to switch 
between the standard Finder menus 
and the Simple Finder. 



1. The Show Clipboard 
menu item moved above the 
dividing line, which makes 
sense. All commands that 
^ deal with the Clipboard now 
are In the same cluster. 



2. A Preferences... com- 
mand (which accesses the 
^new Finder Preferences 
dialog box) was added to 
the end of the Edit menu. 



File Menu 

The File menu is longer in Mac OS 8. A 
couple of additions are really handy, and 
one previously misplaced menu found its 
way home. If you want to do anything with a 
file, check here first. 

1. A new Move To Trash menu item joined the 
File menu with a Command-Delete key equiva- ' 
lent Instead. 

2. The Label menu moved from the main menu 
to become part of the File menu, which Is where 
it belonged in the first place. After ail, the File 
menu is where we go to do things to files, isn’t it? 

3. Show Original (Command-R) reveals the orig- 
inal to which an alias Is connected. No more 
doing a Get Info on an alias, then pressing the 
Show Original button.

View Menu 

The View menu changed substan- 
tially. Although it looks simpler at first 
glance, it actually Is more complex. 
Rather than controlling only how the 
contents of a window are drawn (via 
the View by... commands in Mac OS 
7.x), you now also can control how the 
window behaves and how the contents 



are arranged. There's a lot of Finder 
customizability here. A couple of notes 
about particularly cool things: The 
third part of the View menu changes 
depending on what option you select 
in the first part of the View menu; and 
you can apply some View menu 
options to the desktop. 



1 Control an individual window’s behavior here. 
Select “as Window,” and the Finder window 
behaves the way a good old Finder window should. 
Select “as Pop-up Window,” and the window 
attaches to the lower left edge of the desktop, turn- 
ing its title bar Into a tab. Click the tab, and the 
window collapses to a small tab on the bottom of 
the desktop. 



2. A third view option joined the 
contents group: as Buttons. When 
you select this option, icons are 
drawn as single-click buttons (a la 
the Launcher). 



View 



Cursor Changes 

Aside from the typical arrow, watch, and 
I-beam cursors that you’re accustomed to 
seeing in the Finder, Mac OS 8 added four 
new cursors. Three are variations on the 
arrow cursor, and the fourth is a new 
species entirely. 

Copy cursor-— If you hold down the Option key and 
drag an item, the arrow cursor adds a plus. This 
indicates that the Finder will copy the dragged item 



n Contextual Menu cursor— 
WS II you hold down the Control 
— — key, the arrow cursor 
changes to show that If you click, you’ll 
get a contextual menu. 




</' as Icons 
as buttons 
as List 




V as Window 

as Pop-up Window 



when you let go. 



Alias cursor— If you hold down the Command and 
Option keys while dragging an item to another 
folder, the cursor changes to show you that you’ll 
be creating an alias of the item in the folder where you drop 
the Item. If you don’t drag that item to a new folder or 
window, you’ll merely make a copy in the existing folder. 



Magnifier cursor— This is 
the cursor that pops up if 
you do a click and a half on 
a folder. That is, do a double click, but 
instead of letting up on the second 
click, hold the button down. When held 
over a folder, the magnifier cursor 
opens the folder so you can peer 
inside. You can go as deep into your 
folder structure as you like, and when 
you let go of the mouse button, all the 
Intermediate folders close. 



— Clean Up 
-Arrange 
^ — View Options. 



3. The third section of the View menu controls 
the arrangement of a window’s contents. The 
Clean Up command moved here from the 
Special menu. A new Arrange submenu lets 
you arrange a window’s contents by name, the 
date modified, and so on. Finally, the View 
Options... command calls up a dialog box that 
allows you to choose from several arrange- 
ment options (including icon size and whether 
a window’s grid is on or off). 



30 MacADDICT 







Special Menu 

Although the Special 
menu always has been the 
catch-all for items that don’t 
quite fit anywhere else, it 
was simplified and now is 
less of a hodge-podge. It’s 
divided into three sections: 
One deals with the Trash, 
one deals with disks, and 
one deals with the ultimate 
state of your Mac. 



Special 



Empty Trash- 



Eject 36E 
Erase Disk- 



Sleep 
Restart 
Shut Down 



1 The Eject command now 
works the way It should have 
hack when hard drives became 
standard. Now, when you type 
Command-E, the selected disk 
is ejected, and it no longer 
leaves a grayed-out Icon on the 
desktop. (You could previously 
do this with Command-Y.) If you 
want that grayed-out icon, just 
hold down the Option key, and 
the Eject command turns into 
an Eject and Leave Behind 
command. 



2. The Sleep command now Is in 
the same section as Restart and 
Shut Down, which makes sense, 
considering that they all deal with 
the same overall concept. 



Help Menu 

The Help menu may seem new, but it’s not. If you look to 
the right, you’ll notice that the balloon help question mark 
menu is no longer there. It was changed to the word Help and 
tacked onto the menu bar just after the Special menu. Like the 
balloon help menu icon, the Help menu is not confined to the 
Finder— it appears Systemwide. The change from icon to word 
and the change in location ensure that the Mac’s help facilities 
will be used more frequently. 

The Help menu is context 
sensitive: It changes depend- 
ing on what application is 
active when you select it. 



1. Instead of About AppleGulde, you 
get About Help, which calls up 
AppleGuide and lets you know what 
you can expect from the Help menu. 
/ 



Help 



About Help 




Show Balloons^ 



Help 



2. Balloon help is still here, in Mac OS 8, it can 
turn itself on under some circumstances. 



3. Instead of Macintosh Guide and 
. Shortcuts commands, you have the Help 
command. This opens up AppleGuide to 
the main help section. 



System Folder 



he Mac OS 8 System Folder added a 
ton of new “blessed” folders. These 
folders appear spontaneously (they are 
generated by the System), and they have 
their own custom icons. Blessed folders 



were created with the idea of making 
sense out of the Extensions Folder, which 
has become the great dumping ground 
for files that have no other place to 
belong. A side benefit is that the System 



Folder now knows what to do with things 
such as Control Strip Modules and Text 
Encodings when you drop them on the 
System Folder. Here’s a sampling of 
what you’ll find. 




t. Editors— Finally, the OpenOoc Editors 
folder has achieved blessed status. 
Aithough If always has installed with 
OpenOoc, it now Is embraced In tiie 
System Folder. However, because 
Apple has stopped developing 
OpenOoc, this feature is aimed more 
at corporations that have created 
custom apps using OpenOoc. 

2. Application Support— items such 
as the Claris folder, which floated in 
the System Folder, now lives here. 

3. Contextual Menu items— Context- 
ual menus, as they are created tor 
applications, live here. 



4. Finder— This is not new, but the 
icon sure is. 



5. Internet Plug-ins— Extensions to 
internet applications may be 
installed in this folder.

11. Voices— The voices used by your Mac 
when it speaks are stored here. 



10. Disabled folders— The folders generated 
by extension management software now have 
custom grayed-out icons. 



3. Text Encodings— -those funky tiles that 
Cyberdog Installs in your System R)ider now 
have a place to live. 



6. HeliMQevelopers can put their 
help files here. 



7. Printer Descriptions— This folder 
moved out of the Extensions folder 
and received its own icon. 



8. Scripting Additions— Now, Apple- 
Scripts have their own custom home 
in the System Folder.

Mac OS 8 






Mac OS 8 



Appearance 

T his is one of the biggies. Mac OS 8 
added an ultramod 3D grayscale 
look — ^what Apple calls the platinum 
appearance — to all windows, icons, 
control panels, and menus. 

Icons 

One of the first things that will catch 
your eye in Mac OS 8 (especially if 
you haven’t been using Aaron or 
Kaleidoscope) is lots of new icons. Here’s 
a look at six of them.

Desktop Pictures 

With the new Desktop Pictures control panel, you can specify a picture (in PICT, 
JPEG, or other file formats) to occupy your desktop. The standard desktop patterns 
are still available, if you prefer to use them, and some of their settings are accessible 
via desktop contextual menus. The control panel above shows the Options pop-up 
menu activated.

Icon Views 

By using the View Options control panel under 
View as Icons, you can change your icons’ size. 
What’s far cooler, though, is that you also may 
arrange your icons by name, size, date created or 
date modified (not just plain date, as in previous 
Systems), label, or other attributes — ^just the thing 
for those of you who like icons but also like the tidi- 
ness of the hst view. When keeping icons arranged, if 
you drop in a new item, it automatically takes its 
proper place in the arrangement scheme. You can 
apply these settings to the desktop as well. 




Button Views 

By viewing a window as buttons, you create a view 
that works a lot like the Launcher. A single click on a 
button opens it. What could be simpler? Through the 
View Options control panel, you also can choose the 
size of your buttons. Yes, it does too matter, especially 
when dealing with limited screen real estate. You can 
apply these settings to the desktop. 




List Views 

The list view selection of options is probably the 
most famihar; you’ve seen these choices before, in 
the Views control panel. What’s interesting here is 
that you can choose which colunms appear in the list 
view. If you like a neat, compact list view (say, only 
the name), choose one column. If you want tons of 
data in your hst view, check all the colunms. 



32 MacADDICT 











Windows 

Before you write us to say, “I found 
something that just isn’t possible,” let us 
first say, “You’re right.” This window could 
never be seen under Mac OS 8; some of the 
icons don’t appear together, and some 
don’t appear at all in the list view. We 
hacked this window together to show you 
what you might be seeing. 



10. Scroll thumb~~Aithough the 
scroll thumb doesn’t look much 
different, it does something new: 
live scrolling. Just drag it, and 
the window’s contents scroll 
smoothly along. 



9. List view feedback— When 
you select a category by which 
to view your list, it depresses 
like a button, and the column 
below it turns a darker shade 
of gray. 



1. Locked volume— This 
indicates a locked volume 
(such as a CD-ROM). 

2. Window update 
arrows— These chase 
each other as your Mac 
refreshes the window. 



3. No writing— This icon 
appears when something is 
copying. It Indicates that, at 
least temporarily, nothing 
can write to this window.

4. Snap to grid— When you see 
this icon, all icons snap to the 
grid (not possible in a list view). 



5. Keep arranged by— When this icon appears, 
all the elements in the window keep themselves 
arranged by one of their attributes (such as name 
or date created). 



8. Wider grab zone — Now you 
can move your window by click- 
ing on any of its sides as well as 
by clicking on the title bar. 



7. WindowShade control— 
As previewed in Aaron and 
Kaleidoscope, the Window- 
Shade control has been moved 
to the right of the zoom box. 
Windows roll up with a click. 
Option-click rolls up all win- 
dows at once. You can set the 
control so that windows roll up 
the old-fashioned way— by 
double-clicking the title bar. 

6. New header information— 
The disk information header 
was added to all windows; it 
shows only how many files are 
present and how much free 
space is i 



Handy Pop-up Window Trick 

Here’s something cool to do with pop-up windows in Mac OS

to which you dr^ and drop files. View the folder’s contents by

Threaded Finder 

A side from being PowerPC native, the Mac OS 8 Finder is 
threaded, Mtoch means you can copy several files, empty the 
Trash, and have windows update in the background all at the same 
time. You no longer have to suffer the derision of your Windows- 
using friends because you must set aside time to copy that 65MB file 
to your Zip drive — just start that copy and get on with your life. The 
Finder obediently chugs along with the copy while you do other 
things, such as tidy your hard drive (and empty your Trash) or start 

The Copy dialog box reflects 
this new way of operating. Instead 
of a simple progress bar with a 
Stop button, the Copy dialog box 
now includes an estimate of time 
remaining to complete the copy 
and an expansion triangle. Click 
the triangle, and you get more 
information about the copy, 
including the file being copied, 
A^ere it’s copying fi*om, where it’s 
copying to, and how many bytes 
have been copied. Whew. More 
than you ever wanted to know 
about your copying activities, all 
right here in Mac OS 8.

AN ENTIRELY NEW KIND 
OF WINDOW, the pop-up 
window attaches to the 
bottom of the screen. Just 
move any window close to 
the bottom of the screen 
(or choose “as Pop-up 
Window” from the View 
menu), and it attaches to 
the bottom of the desktop 
as a tab. Click the tab once, 
and the window pops up; 



click the tab again, and it rolls closed. To make a pop-up window into a regular window, 
ail you have to do is grab it by the tab and pull it loose from the bottom of the screen. 
The diagonal lines In the upper left- and right-hand corners are size thumbs, which resize 
the window while it’s attached to the bottom of the screen. 




LOOKS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE THE 
UUNCHER, DOESN’T IT? Viewing a win- 
dow’s contents as buttons makes items 
single-clickable. Combine that simplifica- 
tion with the short menus available under 
the new Finder Preferences dialog box, and 
you can customize a Mac for the younger 
members of your family.

Mac OS 8 





Mac OS 8 



Controls 

ac OS 8 has a host of new and improved control panels. 
Although this sounds like an ad for laundry detergent, just 
take a look at what you can play with when you install Mac OS 8. 




THE NEW APPEARANCE CONTROL PANEL (borrowed from Copland 
and replicated in third-party extensions such as Aaron and 
Kaleidoscope) gives you influence over how windows look, in the Color 
section, select the accent color, which governs the color of targeted 
windows, the scroll thumb, and the progress bar. Nope, no custom 
window shapes yet Here, you also can change the highlight color, as 
you could in Mac OS 7.x. 




THE OPTIONS SECTION OF THE APPEARANCE CONTROL PANEL 
GOVERNS THE WINDOWSHADE CONTROL (turn on the capability to 
double-click the title bar to collapse a window). This control panel also 
Is where you change the System font. You have two choices: Chicago (for 
those who like the old ways) and a new font. Charcoal. Unfortunately, the 
Appearance control panel doesn’t recognize any other fonts. We tried to 
fool it with some renaming tactics, but that didn’t work. Perhaps with 
some fancy work in ResEdit, you could modify a font to be recognized as 
a System font. Cover-your-butt caveat: We don’t recommend fussing 
around in your System Folder with ResEdit unless you’re willing to 
endure some possible bad juju. Finally, if you’re experiencing problems 
with applications under Mac OS 8, try unchecking the option for sys- 
temwide platinum appearance. This may help compatibility (although we 
didn’t experience a single compatibility problem). 




ll, i 



THERE’S A NEW COLOR PICKER IN TOWN, folks, and it gives you lots 
of ways to choose colors, including this nifty crayon color picker. For 
those of you who want more control over your colors, there also are color 
pickers for cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK); hue, lightness, satura- 
tion (HIS); hue, saturation, value (HSV); red, green, blue (RGB); and 
hypertext markup language (HTML). Which of these things is not like the 
others? The HTML color picker, which is especially useful for the not-so- 
Webwise who want to use colors in HTML, as it registers colors In the 
six-character hexadecimal notation used in HTML As an added bonus, 
an eyedropper tool lifts a color from anywhere on your display when you 
hold down the Option key while the color picker is active.

AL1H0U6H IT DOESNT ENCOMPASS ALL THE NETWORKING FUNC- 
TIONS, THE FILE SHARING CONTROL PANEL now includes both the old 
Sharing Setup and File Sharing Monitor control panels. The new panel is 
divided into Staii/Stop and Activity Monitor via a tabbed window. The 
Start/Stop panel looks quite familiar. Here, you set your Mac’s identity 
and password, and turn on or off file sharing and program linking. 




APPLE ADDED THE WEB SHARING CONTROL PANEL, taking a lead 
from the File Sharing control panel. Now, if you’re interested In putting 
up a Web page, all you have to do is set up the site in a folder on your 
Mac, then fire up the Web Sharing control panel, select a Web folder, 
select the home page, and click Start. You can also use your File 
Sharing control panel to decide who can and who cannot access your 
Web page. If you don’t select an HTML page, the Web Sharing control 
panel shares the contents of that folder via Personal NetFinder (which 
serves up the contents of a| disk over the Internet as if it were a Finder 
window). Other users connected to your Mac via the Internet then can 
browse the folder almost as If it were another Finder window as seen 
through a Web browser.

OPENDOC USERS WLL BE PLEASED to see some of the changes to 
the OpenDoc Setup control panel. Now, you can do more than just set the 
default memory for new OpenDoc documents; you can set the control 
panel so that OpenDoc launches when your Mac starts, which cuts down 
the wait time when you open an OpenDoc document. 




THE FILE SHARING MONITOR HAS BEEN TURNED INTO AN 
ACTIVITY MONITOR. Here, you’ll be able to see who is connected to 
your Mac, how much activity your Mac is handling, and what items are 
being shared. Here, you can disconnect anyone who is connected to your 
Mac, and you can adjust the access privileges for all shared items. 




THE USERS & GROUPS CONTROL PANEL REMAINS A SEPARATE 
ENTITY, although it seems like a natural fit In the multiple-mode file 
sharing control panel. It was transformed, however, from what looked 
like a regular Mac window (but was actually a control panel) into an 
actual control panel with buttons and a list. Definitely less confusing. 




MUCH OF THE CONTENT OF THE OLD GENERAL AND UBELS 
CONTIHIL PANELS NOW IS IN THE FINDER PREFERENCES. Although 
it strictly isn’t a control panel (you access It through the Finder’s Edit 
menu), the Finder Preferences dialog box acts tike one. Here, you’ll also 
find controls that activate the Simple Finder (which gives only basic 
features, short menus, and basic commands), and a slider that controls 
how long you wait before a spring-open folder opens.

Installation 



T he work of simplifying System software installation that began in Mac OS 7.6 carried 
forward in Mac OS 8. The software installer now is unified; you truly can start the 
installation process arid walk away — a feat impossible with earlier installers. Here’s a step- 
by-step look at installation. 



Stepi 




When you open the 
installer, you see this 
introduction to the 
four-step installation 
process for Mac OS 8. 
(We think there are 
more than four steps, 
but we won’t quibble.) 



step 3 



The important infor- 
mation that you 
should read is diffi- 
cult to miss now 
that it’s no longer 
tucked away in a 
Read Me file. Read 
this information 
before you go on, 
as It could save you trouble. The About Mac OS 8 document 
shown here is not complete because we used a beta installer. 




Here’s where you 
select the disk on 
which Mac OS 8 
will be installed. 
Notice the Perform 
Clean Installation 
checkbox in the 
lower left-hand 
corner — a big 
improvement over the hidden clean install option In System 7.5. 



As with the Read Me 
Info, the Apple software 
license is tough to miss. 
Read this file — ^you’ll 
probably get some 
laughs, as there are 
some real gems burled 
In here. Click Continue. 



step 4 




Step 2 




Step 5 



m 



To continue with software installation you 
must agree to the terms of the software 
license agreement 



Select Agree to continue, or select Disagree 
to cancel the process. 



I fflsagree 1 1 Agree j 



But wait! You must 
either agree or 
disagree with the 
license agreement 
before you contin- 
ue. Choose well. 
Grasshopper. 



Step? 



If you click Customize, 
you’ll be presented with a 
more In-depth list of com- 
ponents to Install. And you’ll 
be presented with several 
more dialog boxes later that 
ask for further refinements 
In your choices. Best to 
stick with the regular installation and then remove any compo- 
nents you don’t need — It’s just easier that way. 




step 9 




The installer now checks the hard drive for corruption (a fea- 
ture we’d like to see elsewhere In society). This feature and the 
updated hard disk drivers go further toward making a stable 
system than any bug fixes do. 



step 6 




Finally, you face 

the main installation 
screen. Here, you 
choose the optional 
components for your 
Mac, or you can click 
Customize to further 
refine your choices.

be presented with this dialog box, which lets you choose 
whether or not the installer updates the hard disk drivers. Leave 
this checked unless you’ve formatted your disk with a non-Apple 
drive utility (in which case, it won’t work). 

Finally, you’re ready to roll. If 
you chose the regular 
installer and completed all 
the other steps, you can 
walk away from your Mac. 
All the proper components 
will install, and you’ll be 
ready to rock within an hour.

Information 

M ac OS 8 prepares your Mac to give you access to all the

The alias ''Mac Addict

own as part of a new “hot help” capability. For example, when you move

you know why the alias could not be mounted— ail without you having to 
turn on balloon help for the answer.

NEW IN MAC OS 8 IS THE MAC OS INFO CENTER. This collection of

to be connected to the Internet to use it), the Mac OS Info Center offers 
links that will trigger an Internet connection to external sites. If you have 
questions about your Mac, the Info Center should help you answer 
them. It even puts an alias for the Info Center on your desktop.

Apple included several ways to 
connect to the Internet in Mac OS 8. The 
installer puts two icons — ^Browse the 
Internet and Mail — on your desktop. 
These little applications link to your 
Web browser and your email client, 
respectively. Mac OS 8 installs Claris 
Eraailer Lite and either Netscape 
Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer 
to give you built-in Internet access. Mac 
OS 8 also includes a Connect To... 
application in the Apple Menu Items 
folder that lets you enter a URL and then 
launches your Web browser and passes 
it the URL. That way, you can access any 
URL via the Apple menu. 




ONE OTHER WAY THAT MAG OS 8 PROVIDES INFORMATION to help you without getting In 
your way Is by contextual menus. By Control-clicking an item (or the desktop), you call up the 
contextual menu for that item. These menus differ depending on the object that you click (thus 
the term contextual). Here, we have contextual menus for the desktop, a desktop printer, a 
disk, a file, a folder, and the Trash. Getting acclimated to this way of manipulating Items takes 
a little while, but you’ll like being able to change the desktop pattern without opening the 
Desktop Pictures control panel.

IIILUl llwL I this step manually, or Mac OS’s Internet Setup Assistant will walk you through it 



Setup 



Step 1 





Like the Mac OS Setup Assistant, the Internet Setup Assistant 
explains itself, then asks if you want to register with a new 
Internet service provider (great if you don’t already have Internet 
service) or if you want to update a configuration (appropriate if 
you already have Internet service). 



steps 





If your ISP gave you an IP address, click Yes. If not, click No. 
Most ISPs these days use dynamic allocation and so don’t 
assign an IP address. 

steps 





On to email. The assistant asks for your email address and 
password. You may leave the password blank, but then you’ll 
receive a prompt for your password every time you want to get 
your mail. 



step 2 





The Internet Setup Assistant seamlessly hands you off to the 
Internet Editor Assistant. This assistant lets you know what 
information you’ll need (such as the domain name server 
address, IP address, and ISP phone number) to set up your 
Mac for Internet access. 



step 6 




Here, the assistant asks for your IP address. 




step 10 





Next, the assistant asks for the email account. This is differ- 
ent from the email address; it’s typically the Post Office 
Protocol (POP) account. The assistant also asks for the email 
host. Typically, this is the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol 
(SMTP) host computer. 



40 MacADDfCT 




step 3 





Here, the assistant asks you whether you want to add an ISP 
configuration, or modify or remove one. If you just installed 
Mac OS 8, you’ll be adding an ISP configuration. 



step 4 





The assistant now asks you to name the configuration and 
then decide how you will connect to the Internet. We chose 
LAN because our Mac uses an Ethernet connection. 



Step? 





Now we’re getting technical. The assistant asks for your

optional and consists of two or mora words saparatad by periods (fbr

To oontinua, oHok tha right arrow. 




Even more complicated, the assistant asks for your domain 
name server address and domain name. Enter these, and 





subnet mask and router address. 



things get a little less complicated. 



step 11 




The assistant then asks for the Network News Transfer 
Protocol (NNTP) server, which accesses newsgroups. If you 
don’t use the Usenet, don’t worry about filling in this field.

Finally, you can tell the assistant to set up your Internet config- 
uration. Changes will be made to your TCP/IP control panel and 
possibly to your Modem and PPP control panels. A checkbox 
lets you connect when the assistant is finished with the setup so 
that you can check your settings. □

ross-stitched tissue box covers. 
Bespectacled crocheted grannies disguis- 
ing rolls of toilet paper. The ever-hideous 
latch hook mg. Even if you haven’t been to 
a craft show in the last 100 years, 
chances are good you’ve either seen 
one of these tacky home projects 
or, God forbid, received one as a 
gift. Worse yet, perhaps you’ve 
been responsible for one or 
more yourself. Well, put down 
your weapons of evil and get 
ready to use your Mac for a new 
class of home crafts. 

Although your Mac doesn’t 
come with glue-gun attachments or 
sewing machine plug-ins, you can still use 
it to aeate personalized home projects that 
are even more useful than the cheeseball crafts of yesteryear. 
Greeting cards, signs, newsletters, business cards, envelopes, 
letterhead, and silly certificates can all be made with less fuss 
than it takes for you to fire up your Civic and drive to the clos- 
est Hallmark store. 

And you don’t need an expensive page layout program such 
as Adobe PageMaker to do it. Chances are good that if you have 



ClarisWorks (and if you own a Mac, you probably do), 
you’ve already used the program’s “stationery” for creating 
everything fi*om newsletters to personal letterhead. You 
may have noticed, however, that though the program 
is simple enough for a brain donor to use, it’s a little 
inflexible — ^it falls short on creative extras, such as multi- 
ple templates, clip art, and fonts, that make designing 
home print projects fun for the amateur designer. 

Fortunately, for less than $100 (in some cases, much 
less) you can bring home any one of several home printing 
packages that come loaded with templates, clip art, fonts, 
and ready-made projects. To see if these perks really 
make the package (you may decide to stick 
with GarisWorks after all), we used five 
different programs to create five dif- 
ferent projects, which we describe 
in how-to detail. 

So, the next time Johnny 
needs party invitations for 
his birthday bash, or you’re 
nominated to create the club 
newsletter, or you start your own 
business and have to design your 
own stationery and business cards, 
just do it. . .yourself. We show you how.

Cheap Tips 

1. Don't fee! obligated to use 
the templates included in this 
program. Although the prod- ; 
uct claims that using the 
Print Shop's predesigned 
templates is like ‘having a 
professional designer at your 
side,” we don’t know any 
professional designer who 
would claim responsibility for 
most of these layouts, 

2* Do feel free to import 
your own drawings, photos, 
and other art. They’ll make 
the flyer seem more person- 
able and probably will look 
better than much of the art 
; included with the program. 

3. Don’t go crazy with col- 
ors just because you can. 
Sure, you could make every 

■ word in your flyer a different 
color of the Crayola box, but 
who would want to read it? 

4. : Don‘t forget to speil- 
check. Big typos are bad 
typos. 



T 



5, Try to use a large main 
image and a bold headline to 
attract attention, 



■fie PriBt Shop CD Ensemble provides 
an easy way for nondesigners (and 
nonadults) to pull together a garden 
variety of home publishing projects such as banners, 

greeting cards, and homemade certificates thanks to its simple, kidproof interface. Although 
many of the templates are cluttered shrines to bad design, the well-designed templates are 
pretty easy to spot. Once youVe chosen a template, adding art and text is a breeze — ^just 
double-click a bear-labeled box to import your choice of a huge array of dip art and photos. 

Although previous versions of Print Shop offered just enough rainbows, balloons, and 
lovable pup clip-art images to make your project look like the aftermath of a Care Bears 
explosion, this version comes packed with more than 15,500 images — ^some of which are 
pretty good. With almost 4,000 more images and almost 30 more fonts than the last 
version, the latest upgrade to Br0derbund’s venerable Print Shop would be money well 
spent, if it still weren’t so dam expensive.

Cheap Tips 

1. Make your text legible. A 
business card can make for 
tight confines once you've 
added all of your contact 
info, some art, and a slogan, 
but if you make the type too 
small to read, people won’t 
read it. It has been nice not 
doing business with you. 

2 , Keep it simple. The less 
ornamentation on your card, 
the more legitimate you1! 
seem. Add balloon borders 
and a confetti background, 
and you might as well be 
running a clown school, 

3 • Order text by i m portan ce: 
Company, then name, title, 
and contact info is standard. 

4. Design your card to reflect 
your business. Our mixture of 
barbed wire and bad religion 
works well for a gothic tattoo 
parlor, but a lawyer using the 
same edgy art might notice a 
decline in business. 

5. Make sure you’re not just 
in like with your design but in 
love with it. Once you have 
an expensive box of cards 
printed up and start handing 
them out, the cards are with 
you for better or worse, until 
the job you doth part.

ood clip art is about as hard to find 
I as a snowball in... the summer- 
I time, which makes PrintMaster 
Gold’s collection of fonts and graphics so remarkable. 
Sure, many of the images qualify as basic cUp-art 
crud, but there are so many images covering so many 
far-ranging topics that you’re sure to find something 
to dress up your card, baimer, or business card. 

But to get anything done in PrintMaster requires a 
lot of chcking among ever-deepening nests of win- 
dows. You spend so much time staring at the screen 
while you wait for your images to redraw and trying to 
manipulate the awkward text boxes that you can’t help 
but notice how Windows-like the interface looks. To give your home designing experi- 
ence a colder, more corporate cast, you enter your data into the ready-made projects by 
filling in database fields. Ick. But if you can stomach the program’s clunky outer layer, 
you are rewarded with a versatile collection of smart, funny dip art and more ready- 
made projects than you’re likely to use. 





Build Your Own 
Business Card 



Step 1. Click on the Business Cards 
tab frorn the Projects album and pick 
a background. 

We decided 
to start from 
scratch — 
none of the 
templated 
designs 
appealed to us. 



step 2. 

Select a back- 
ground or bor- 
der from the 
Picture album 
by picking New 
Background 
from the Background Menu. Double- 
click the image you want, or click the 
Open button. 

step 3. Add your logo, name, 
address, and any other text by selecting 
Add a New text Box from the Text menu. 
For speciai effects such as slanted text, 

^ select Add a New Title Text Box. 

step 4. Click the Type and Edit 
Text button to 
type or change 
words. To edit 
text, highlight it 
and click the 
Choose Font 
button— this 
calls up the Choose Font window, where 
you can edit and preview text. 

step 5. To 

add art, select 
Add a New 
Picture from 
the Pictures 
menu. Peruse 
the Picture 
Album until you 
find an image. 

step 6. Print your design to see how 
it looks, but take it to a Kinko’s or other 
print shop for a professional look.

step 1. Travel through a series of 
wizards to pick your project, choose 
your method 
for creating the 
project (starting 
tha QuickWay, 
from Scratch, 
or ^ith a

select Catalog from your Notebook on 
the left side of the screen, click Clip 
Art, double-click Special Occasions 
and then Wedding, and select and 
drag your image from the Notebook 
onto your awaiting canvas. Size your 
image and move it around by clicking 
the pointer tool in your toolbox 
and by pulling and pushing the Inprdj-- 
nately large black boxes marking the 
edges of the image. Add a border for a 
framing effect. 

step 4. 

Put: your 

image to 
words by 
clicking the 
Text tool In 
your vertical 
toolbar and 
creating a text box above your image 
on the cover. Type your message, then 
select It and click the red-tinged Text 
tool on your horizontal toolbar to call up 
a text editing box. 

I step 5. Turn to the insndb pages of 
your card by clicking the

Cheap Tips 

If you just can’t think of 
anything witty to say in 
two sentences or less (it’s 
that high school yearbook 
pressure all over again), 
you can bring deep mean- 
ing to your card by crib- 
bing from one of the 1 ,000 
canned phrases included 
with Print House. Here are 
some of our favorites. Use 
:'with caution. 

Front t Happy Birthday, 
Grandma 

Bock: Here’s a great 
big birthday hug from your 
favorite snuggle bugl 

Frortti This birthday 
card should leave you all 
choked up. 

Bock: It was made from 
a hairball! 

Front: So you’re hav- 
ing a birthday. Look at It 
this way... 

' Back: ...you’re still ' 

; younger than our copy 
i machine! 



W hat did we think of Corel Print 

House? The program has more bugs than a Florida swamp, and the 
editing tools are worse than clunky — they’re downright uncontrol- 
lable. Being forced through an ugly channel of wizards before you can start your project 
is the first bad sign. Trying to select an image ifrom the microscopic examples of clip art 
in the Notebook is the second warning. Attempting to do anything with that art or to add 
and edit text means the writing’s on the wall. The handles on the editing boxes, though 
bulky and hard to miss, are difficult to grasp and a struggle to maneuver once you do. 
Text boxes don’t always flow your text once you resize the box, scroll bars don’t always 
scroll, corrupted files are common, and the organization is haphazard. Click Clip Art, 
then Africa, to call up examples of angels, dolls, and Easter eggs. Huh? 

To edit a backdrop, you can’t just chck on the image and work your magic. You have 
to select Merger Backdrop from the Tools menu and Ungroup from the Arrange menu, 
then select the part of the backdrop you wish to edit and edit the shapes using the shaper 
tool. Leave this nightmare to Windows users who like doing things the hard way.

I f you’re looking 
for beary special 
borders and birth- 
day cake backgrounds, you’re in 
the wrong program. Although 
Adobe HomePubbsher Deluxe ■■■ ■ 

provides more than 50 templates for 13 different projects, it’s meant for novice designers, 
not the kiddie crowd. For example, clicking on a graphics box in a template does not auto- 
matically call up a cheesy selection of art — ^you’ll need to import your own cheesy art or dive 
into the clip-art images found on an included OD. 

But, as with most of the other budget design kits, you can work from a template or not. 
If you select the template, simply place your graphics and text in the template preview, fill in 
the blanks to add headlines and captions, and the program will lay it all out for you. 

Sure, the program has faults. When we tried to add text to our newsletter by cheking Import 
Text, the program would recognize only graphics files. Also, the program’s dunky editing tools 
made it difficult to move objects with precision. Still, among the programs we reviewed, Adobe 
HomePublisher Deluxe offers the easiest route to making professional-looking print projects.

L ast month, we covered the LC, LC II, and LC III 
series, so now we’re going to help you 
upgrade the other models in the LC line (and 
comparable Performas). We’ll cover the LC 475, 520, 
550, 575, 580, 630, and of course, the 630 DOS Com- 
patible. Although there’s life in the LC line, don’t 
spend more than two or three hundred dollars 
upgrading. If you have that much cash to burn, put it 
in the bank for a newer, faster machine. We’ll cover 
each model in detail, but first let’s look at the items 
that stay the same no matter which model you own. 




SEE OUR 



WEB SITE for 
previous 
“This Old 
Mac” articles. 



General Expansion 




Every LC has an 
LC slot (often 
called a PDS), 
into which you 
can plug a net- 
work card, accelerator, or video 
card. Not every model has the same 
size or type of LC slot, however, so 
tell the vendor which LC you have. 
No LCs have a NuBus or PQ slot. 

All LCs have external SCSI con- 
nectors, so you can just plug in a 
CD-ROM drive, extra hard drive, 
scanner, or other SCSI peripheral. At 
most, you might have to buy driver 



software such as CharisMac Engi- 
neering’s CD Anubis (916-885-4420, 
httpyAvww.charismac.com) or FWB 
Software’s CD-ROM Toolkit (415- 
463-3500, http://www.ftvb.com.) 

Not all LCs have internal SCSI 
drives, though. From the LC 580 on, 
they have IDE drives, and that means 
you can’t use old versions of CD- 
ROM Toolkit, CD Anubis, i^ple’s HD 
SC, or other drive-formatting soft- 
ware. Be sure to get the latest 
release, partly for the IDE drive but 
also because newer System software 
requires it. 



Networking All LCs have built-in 
AppleTalk. None has built-in Ether- 
net. To add Ethernet, you have two 
choices, both of \riiich leave your LC 
slot fi*ee. One choice is to use an 
external box such as Asante Tech- 
nologies’ Slotless Macintosh Ether- 
net Adapter, which connects to your 
Mac via the SCSI port. Alternately, 
you can buy a card to put into the 
LC’s special communications slot. 
The comm slot is found in only a 
few Macs — ^for example, the LC 575, 
580, 630, and some entry-level 
Power Macs and PowerPC-based 



50 MacADDICT 






Performas. FaraQon Communica- 
tions makes three different sub-$ 100 
models of Ethernet card for LCs. 
Utilities Symantec’s Norton Utilities 
3.2 jc runs toe on all LCs (800-441- 
7234, http:/Avww.symantec.com) . 
You should use Norton Utilities to 
keep your drive defragmented and 
error free. To back up your hard 
drive, we suggest Retrospect from 
Dantz Development (510-253-3000, 
httpy/www.dantz.com) . All but two of 
the LCs in this article use 68LC040 or 
faster processors, so almost any util- 
ity package will run. Be sure the tools 
you choose aren’t PowerPC-only. 

All these LCs can run System 
7.6.1, Thus, they can connect to the 
Internet with standard tools and 
applications. At press time, i^ple 
was saying that any Mac with an ’040 
processor would run Mac OS 8. 
Accelerators Avast array of accel- 
erators is available, but don’t spend a 
vast array of dollars on one. If you 
have that much to spare, buy a new 
Mac. If you upgrade, contact the ven- 
dors listed for literature, and spend a 
day or two comparing features and 
prices. Then check with the used- 
hardware vendors about which dis- 
continued or used products are in 
stock. Remember, used-hardware 
vendors usually do not have litera- 
ture on individual products. 

What should you look for in an 
accelerator? First, you’ll want a card 
that includes a floating-point unit 
(FPU) if your LC lacks it. (See details 
on the individual LCs below.) Chips 



with an “LC” designator in the 
middle — ^for example, 68LC040 — 
do not include an FPU. With an FPU, 
the LC can do rendering and handle 
complex mathematical calculations. 

ff your Mac lacks an FPU and 
you can’t tod an affordable acceler- 
ator with one, you can use John Neil 
& Associates’ SoflwareFPU, a share- 
ware program that emulates a 
physical floating-point unit (800-663- 
2943 , http:/Avww.jna.inter.net/jna/ 
s^u.html). SoftwareFPU allows you 
to (slowly) run applications that 
require an FPU. But there’s a 
catch — ^some 68LC040 CPUs have 
a bug that keeps SoftwareFPU from 
working with all applications. 

One way to tod out if your LC has 
this bug is to test it with the applica- 
tions you want to use. If they work, 
all’s well. If one crashes, flie bug 
found you. Don’t give up hope. If you 
can, try die application on a standard 
’040 Mac. If the application works, 
it’s the bug. If not, the apphcation 
may be corrupt and the LC is toe. Or 
you can check to see if you have one 
of the older, buggy chips. Pop open 
your Mac’s case and look on the 
’040 chip. If you see a revision num- 
ber of 03E23G or higher — ^it’s the 
second line of info on the chip — 
you’ve got a buggy one. 

Finally, look for an accelerator 
with RAM expansion slots. The secret 
to a happy life in computing is RAM, 
RAM, and more RAM. These Macs all 
hold at least 36MB, which generally 
is enough for basic computing tasks. 



However, do you want to render 
large images? Buy more RAM. Want 
to run Adobe Photoshop? Buy more 
RAM. You get the idea. 

Assault of Batteries The LC 
series (and most other Macs) have a 
battery built into the motherboard. It 
remembers your color settings, the 
printer you’ve selected, the current 
time, and so on. Everything that’s in 
parameter RAM (PRAM) stays alive 
because the battery keeps it alive. If 
the battery dies, the machine loses its 
mind. Freaks. It may not boot prop- 
erly, may foi^et which port to print 
to, may not recognize the network, 
may start up in black and white. 
Running Norton UtiUties won’t fix it. 
Reformatting won’t fix it. Reinstalling 
System software won’t fix it. 

What will fix it? A new battery. 
Radio Shack carries them for less 
than $ 10. Just bring in the old battery 
to be sure you get the right one. Or 
caU Apple (800-767-2775) and ask 
for part number 742-0011. Want to 
know what it looks like? Go to http:// 
www.mdsbattery.co.uk, the site for 
MDS’s catalog — it includes a photo. 

If you’re comfortable pulling 
your Mac’s cover off, you can swap 
batteries yourself; it’s no harder than 
changing the batteries in a remote 
control. Locating the battery slot on 
the motherboard may take a while, 
but once you tod it (it looks like a 
AAA battery but about half the 
length), pop out the old battery, snap 
in the new one, and reset all your 
PRAM settings. 



The Lineup 




LC 475 

(equivalent 
Macs include 
the Performa 
475 and 476 
and the Quadra 605) 

• Includes a 68LC040 processor 
running at 25MHz 

• No FPU 

• 4MB of DRAM, upgradable to 
36MB via one RAM slot 

• One LC slot 

• 51 2K VRAM, which supports a 
resolution of 640 x 480 pixels in 
8-bit color; VRAM is expandable 
to 1MB. 

Apple gave us yet another RAM 
oddity in the LC 475. When adding 



more RAM, be sure to buy single- 
sided SIMMs, which have chips on 
only one side. Most double-sided 
SIMMs — that is, SIMMs with chips 
on both sides — ^won’t fit in the 
RAM expansion slot. 

Because the LC 475 uses an 
’040 processor, you can run any 
System software, productivity soft- 
ware, and games that aren’t Power- 
PC only. Note, however, that the 
processor does not Include an FPU, 
so some 3D, mathematical, and sci- 
entific applications may not run. 

Want a more powerful proces- 
sor? Get an accelerator. You may be 
able to find a good deal from a 
used-hardware vendor on DayStar 



Digital’s now-discontinued Power- 
Card 601 . This card includes a 
PowerPC 601 processor as well as 
256 k of cache. (A cache makes 
a processor run even faster.) 

LC 520 and 550 
(equivalent Macs include the 
Performa 550 and 560) 

• Includes a 68030 processor 
running at 25MHz or 33MHz 

• Optional FPU 

• 4MB of DRAM, upgradable to 
36MB via one RAM slot 

• One LC slot 

• 51 2K VRAM, which supports a 
resolution of 640 x 480 pixels in 
8-bit color; VRAM is expandable 
to 768K.

52 MacADDICT 



The LC 520 and 550 really are 
the same Mac, only running at dif- 
ferent processor speeds — 25MHz 
and 33MHz. (As you probably 
guessed, the LC 550 runs slightly 
faster than the LC 520.) These two 
Macs sport an all-in-one design; an 
integrated monitor and CPU, a la 
the classic Mac. Other than that, 
these LCs are perfecdy ordinary 
’030 macliines. 

Well, almost ordinary. A few of 
the LC 520s shipped with sickly Sys- 
tem software CDs — specifically, 
there was bad information in the 
CD’s boot blocks. If you have the 
original LC 520 System CD and find 
yourself staring at a gray screen 
with nothing but a pointer on it, 
you own a bad CD. The fix is a new 
System software CD; get 7.6.1. 

As for accelerators, there’s not 
much to be done. These models 
were manufactured and sold for 
only a short while, and we couldn’t 
find any accelerators for them. 

LC 575 and 580 
(equivalent Macs include the 
Performa 575, 578, and 580) 

• Includes a 68LC040 processor 
running at 33MHz 

• No FPU 

• 4MB of DRAM, expandable to 
36MB via one RAM slot (the LC 
580 has 8MB of DRAM, expand- 
able to 52MB via two slots) 

• One LC slot 

• One communications slot 

• 51 2K VRAM, which supports a 
resolution of 640 x 480 pixels in 
16-bit color; VRAM is expandable 
to 1MB DRAM for the 580. 

The LC 575 and 580 carried on 
the tradition of the LC 520’s all-in- 
one design, but the LC 580 offered 
three technological advantages. 
First, the LC 580 included an inter- 
nal IDE hard drive rather than the 
familiar internal SCSI hard drive. 
Second, it had a maximum RAM 
capacity of 52MB. And third, it 
included video-in and -out ports 
for connecting video peripherals 
such as camcorders and VCRs. 

LC 630 and 630 DOS 
Compatible 

(equivalent Macs include the 
Performa 630 through 638, the 
Performa 640 DOS Compatible, 
and the Quadra 630) 

• Includes a 68LC040 processor 
running at 33MHz 



• No FPU 

• 8MB of DRAM, expandable to 
36MB via one RAM slot 

• One LC slot 

• One communications slot 

• One video slot for television output 

• 1MB DRAM, which supports a 
resolution of 640 x 480 pixels 
in 16-bit color 

The DOS compatibility cards 
included in one version of the LC 
630 weren’t blindingly fast, and 
Apple didn’t make a lot of them, but 
they worked. There are plenty of 
upgrades available for this Mac 
overall. Besides the comm slot, the 
LC 630 has a video slot for NTSC, 
PAL, and SECAM video-input cards. 
If you can find a used one, you can 
add Apple’s Presentation System, 
which handles NTSC or PAL video 
output, so you can display im^es 
on a TV. Ever wanted to show off 
your Doom-playing skills to all your 
non-computer-sawy friends? Just 
tape the game! 

The Performa 640 DOS Compat- 
ible includes everything that the LC 
630 DOS Compatible does, except it 
has an internal IDE drive instead of 
a SCSI drive, and it handles a ma^d- 
mum of 53MB of RAM. 

Glossary 

Color and Resolution These 
arcane numbers tell you how many 
colors a Mac can display on a given 
monitor. 

Color 

1- bit means black and white 

2- bit means 4 colors 
4-bit means 16 colors 

8-bit means 256 colors (the 
minimum for most games and 
image tools) 

1 6-bit means thousands of 
colors (QuickTime is optimized 
for l6-bit color) 

24-bit means miUions of 
colors (best for graphics pro- 
fessionals) 

Resolution 

For WYSIWYG images: 

640 X 480 pixels is the stan- 
dard resolution for a l4-inch 
monitor 

832 X 624 is the standard for 

a 1 6-inch monitor 

1,024 X 768 is the standard 

for a 19-inch monitor 

1,152 X 870 is the standard 

for a 21-inch monitor 



Depending on your setup, it’s 
possible to run a l4-inch monitor 
at 832 X 624 or higher or a l6-inch 
monitor at 640 x 480. 

32-Bit Clean Some early Macs 
could “see” only SMB of RAM, To 
access extra RAM, you need either 
Apple’s 32-bit System Enabler or 
Connectix Mode32 (800-950-5880, 
http://www.connectix.com) . 

DRAM: Dynamic RAM The kind 
of memory that goes on the 
motherboard and lets you run 
applications and open large files. 
The more RAM you have, the more 
applications you can have open at 
once. More RAM also lets you open 
larger image files. 

FPU: Floating-point Unit Apiece 
of hardware on either the proces- 
sor or the motherboard that does 
floating-point calculations. Some 
applications — notably 3D and 
scientific applications — require it. 
SoftwareFPU shareware by John 
Neil & Associates (800-663-2943, 
http://www.jna.inter.net/jna/s^u. 
htid) emulates a real FPU. 

LC LC stands for “low cost.” These 
Macs represented a breakthrough 
back in the days when Macs com- 
manded a premium price tag. 

LC Slot: A slot similar to the PDS in 
the Mac Ilsi and SE/30 but smaller. 
MHz: Megahertz The speed at 
which a processor runs. Bigger 
numbers mean faster machines. 
NTSC The video standard used in 
the United States for television. 

PAL A television video standard, 
used mostly in Europe. 

PDS: Processor Direct Slot A 
slot found on the original LC that 
connects directly to the processor. 
It’s faster than a NuBus slot, but 
fewer cards were made for it. 
SECAM A television video standard, 
used mostly in Europe. 

VRAM: Video RAM To display 
more colors on a bigger monitor, 
you need more VRAM. For example, 
to display millions of colors on a 
19-inch monitor, you need at least 
2MB of VRAM. 

WYSIWYG: What You See Is 
What You Get WYSIWYG means an 
image looks the same onscreen as 
it does when printed on paper. □

I he newest upgrade for Adobe Illustrator, version 7.0, is just 
like Christmas — for Windows users. For them, Illustrator 
7.0 offers a cornucopia of gifts — filters, layers, gradients — 
everything the Mac version has had since 5.0. (This feature parity 
is a real blessing for people who work in a mixed-platform 
environment.) The new Macintosh features in Illustrator 7.0 
consist mainly of interface changes and production-oriented 
additions. Some of these features are nice, but discovering them 
is sort of like finding out that the only gifts under the tree are 
underwear and a sweater from Aunt Sylvia.

New Interface 

Since Adobe’s release of Photoshop 4,0, and con- 
tinuing with PageMaker 6.5 and Illustrator 7.0, FIND A TRIAL 
the company has given all its programs one coher- VERSION OF 
ent interface. This continuity is supposed to help illustrator 7.0 
people who work in all three applications and to on The Disc, 
offer longtime Photoshop users a more welcoming 
environment. Even Illustrator die-hards will appreciate some 
aspects of the overhaul. For example. Illustrator 7.0 assigns key- 
strokes for all its toolbox entries. Just tapping P-M-V-R switches 
from Pen to Rectangle to Selection to Rotate. It’s a big timesaver 
we’ve been missing. 

Conversely, some changes will unnerve Illustrator users. Why 
is the Rectangle tool the M key? Well, Photoshop’s Rectangle tool 
is M, for Marquee. But unlike Photoshop, in which the Oval and 
Rectangle Marquees toggle, Illustrator has two distinct tools,

ALTHOUGH THE COLOR PALEHES for Photoshop (left) and Illustrator 
(right) look almost identical, Illustrator’s is missing two very important 
controls. There’s no way to change the focus from Fill to Stroke and no 
place to set a fill of None. You must change those two settings via the 
toolbox or the keyboard. 




WHICH LAYERS PALETTE is for Illustrator and which for PageMaker? 
The Illustrator palette Is on the left. The clues are Illustrator’s hollowed 
eyeball indicating the artwork mode and PageMaker’s layer called 
Default. Also, Illustrator uses a pen to indicate the active layer. 
PageMaker uses a pencil. 

and the Oval tool is N. Why not 0? Because 0 invokes the Reflect 
tool. Fm sure there’s a logic in here someplace. It’s just a little 
hard to understand. Also, important commands, such as Add 
Anchor Points or Offset Path, have moved off the Filter menu, 
and there’s no way to reapply the commands via a keystroke. On 
top of this, there are inconsistencies in the commands that will 
bother even those who come from Photoshop. Select Inverse has 
a keystroke command in Photoshop but not in Illustrator. Select 
None is Command-D in Photoshop but Command-Shift-A 
in Illustrator. 

Also, there are some Photoshop features we would have loved 
to see but didn’t, such as the Actions palette, incremental 
fication amounts, and the new Navigator palette. And Adobe made 
one big goof in version 7.0: its handling of the None fill. Setting a 
fill of None is one of the most important things you would want to 
do in Illustrator. But in its zeal to make the Colors palette similar 
to Photoshop’s, Adobe dropped the None option; it also failed to 
add a None option to the new Swatches palette. The only way 
to specify using no fill in an object is by clicking in the toolbox 
or by pressing the slash key. One word: bad. 

A New World of Images and Color 

Working with images and color is much improved, finally. Adobe 
did a lot to fix version 6’s disastrous handling of embedded TIFF 
images. Now, when you place TIFFs, you have an option to turn 
on or off linking. However, once you place a file, it’s not easy to 
change it from linked to unlinked, especially if you applied any 
transformations. Fortunately, placing a TIFF image no longer 
means that Illustrator’s screen redraw grinds to a halt, as so often 
happened in Illustrator 6. 

Finally, RGB color (and Apple ColorSync 2.0) comes to 
Illustrator! This is a godsend for anyone who works in something 
other than a prepress environment. Whatever your favorite color 
model — CMYK, RGB, HLS, or grayscale — Illustrator 7.0 lets 
you choose it, unlike Illustrator 6, with its CMYK-only stance. You 
even can use a 21 6-color browser-safe palette. Also, Web designers 
now have the ability to turn their Illustrator artwork into image 





Illustrator 7.0 includes only one new feature for creating artwork: the 
Reshape tool. This tool is not as easy, nor as Intuitive, as you might want it 
to be. There are three steps for working with the Reshape tool. 



THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN using the Reshape tool and the Scale tool: 
When the original eagle (left) was made taller using the Scale tool (middle), 
the head and beak became distorted. Using the Reshape tool (right) scales 
the eagle without distorting the head. 



Use the Direct 
' Selection tool to select points In 
the object that may or may not 
move. Some points should be left 
unselected to serve as “anchors” 
that will not move. 



Reshape 
that 

will “pull” the points previously 
selected. These superselected 
points then will be Indicated with 
a square around their dot. 



Use the Reshape 
tool to drag one of the super- 
selected points. This action 
distorts the original object. 
Superselected points distort an 
object only if at least one point is 
deselected. If an object contains 
no deselected points, the 
Reshape tool moves the object 
without distorting it. If an object 
contains no superselected 
points, then dragging with the 
Reshape tool neither moves nor 
distorts the object.

Grids and Other Goodies 

Illustrator 7.0 ships with a 
terrific new system of auto- 
matic grids, which you may 
set up in any color or config- 
uration. Not only can you 
work with Snap to Grid turned 
on, but also the grid provides 
feedback, which helps you 

make compound paths correctly. (Anyone who has 
ever thrown a gradient behind an object in order to 
tell the difference between a White and a None fill 
will appreciate this feature.) Also, when you

absolutely terrific for people 
who work in perspective. 

TWo more new features are 
worth noting. The first is verti- 
cal text orientation along a 
path (this release of Illustrator 
supports the Latin alphabet 
and Japanese characters 
only — other two-byte lan- 
guages will be supported in 
future updates). The second is 
the ability to embed fonts in a 
document. This means you can 
send an Illustrator file to any 
machine, on any platform, and 
it will print correctly even if the 
fonts are not on the second machine. (You won’t be able 
to manipulate the document on the second machine if 
the fonts are missing, though.)

Counterpoint: 

The Vector Veteran 

The interface changes took a long time to learn. For example, 
it took me 15 minutes to figure out where Adobe had moved the 
Pathfinder filters. I don’t get why the Rectangle tool is the letter M, 
the keystrokes for Move to Front and Send to Back changed, and 
there are no keyboard shortcuts for some of my favorite commands, 
such as repeat Add Anchor Points. And why does the old Ungroup 
command (Command-U) now hide objects? 

There also are some strange omissions. Now I’ve got to use 
three different palettes just to set a stroke to a certain color and over- 
print. I can’t make tints of process colors, and the new Gradient 
palette has got me stumped. 1 can’t figure out how to add or change 
the colors. 

However, not being stuck in CMYK is great, as are the grids. I 
don’t have to go into Photoshop anymore just to create a Web graphic. 



Point: 

The Pixel Professional 

1 recognize tools and keystrokes from Photoshop, such as the M 
for the Marquee in Photoshop and the Rectangle in Illustrator. And now 
I don’t have to hunt for the Hide Edges keystroke, because that’s the 
same, too. 

This will make Web work a lot easier. I finally can match RGB col- 
ors in Photoshop and Illustrator, and then work in a Web color palette. 
Also, 1 can drag and drop paths right from Illustrator into Photoshop. 

Those tabbed palettes work exactly like the ones in Photoshop. 

And these docking palettes are even cooler than in Photoshop. 

Too bad there’s no Actions or Navigator palette in Illustrator 
The Fill and Stroke features are still so different from what I’m used 
to in Photoshop that putting them in the Tools palette is confusing.

late the function of the right-hand 
mouse button. Hold the Control key C 
and click on an object, and you get a 
context-sensitive menu that pops up on 
the screen, showing commands that 
apply to the selected object. Given 
that so many commands have been ^ 
buried in submenus or have lost JT 
their keystrokes, this provides a ^ 
little bit of rehef. 

As far as new art-creation 
features, version 7.0 offers only the ^ 
Reshape tool, which allows users to 
transform the overall shape of a path 
while maintaining its details. This is the 
closest thing Illustrator has to enveloping, 
though it takes a lot of work to get your 
result precisely right. This tool also 
requires laborious selecting and 
deselecting of points. (See

vious page.) 



A NEW CHOICE for text orientation: Try 
Horizontal and Vertical Text for fun effects. 



We Need a Little Christmas 

Illustrator undoubtedly is one of the best apphcations for creat- 
ing and editing vector-based graphics, and this upgrade does 
nothing to change that. Version 7.0 offers an easier entry for 
people who are coming to Illustrator from Photoshop, and the 
new cross-platform feature and interface parities are terrific for 
those who work in a mixed-platform environment. However, 
longtime lilustrator users will be frustrated with the new inter- 
face’s steep relearning curve and its marginal long-term benefits. 
Also, although the new color and automatic grid features are 
definitely welcome, we were left thinking, “That’s it?” Not to be 
greedy, Santa, but as a full-number upgrade, this is a miserly 
hohday. — Sandee Cohen 




GOOD NEWS: RGB color and URL image mapping. New, sophisti- 
cated grids. A total revision in the interface and menus to make it 
more like Photoshop and PageMaker. 

BAD NEWS: A total revision in the interface and menus means a 
steep relearning curve for current users. Weak and feature-poor 
for a full-number upgrade.

PowerBook 2400c 



COMPANY: Apple 

CONTACT: 408-996-1010, http://www.apple.com 
PRICE: $3,499 (SRP) 

SPECIFICATIONS: 180MHz 603e; 16MB of RAM; 1.3GB hard drive; 256K 
Level 2 cache; 10.4-inch, 800-X-600, active-matrix color display; two Type II 
or one Type Hi PC card slots 

I t’s a cute Me thing. With its small case and external floppy drive, 
this lightweight (just over four pounds) captured our hearts; the 
clear display and speedy performance won our admiration. 
Althou^ the 2400c is small, it’s strong. At its heart is a 603e 
processor running at 180MHz, 256K of Level 2 cache, and the same 
architecture as in the PowerBook 3400 series. All this raw power 
shows — our tests clocked the 2400c at around 70 percent the 
processor and graphics speed of the 200MHz 3400c. The 2400c feels 
fast and responsive, and it runs QuickTime movies at M screen with 
hardly a dropped frame. 

Of course, Apple had to drop some things in order to cut the 
2400c’s weight to half that of its la^er sibling. The internal 1.3GB hard 
drive is it for onboard media. The hot-swappable floppy drive is exter- 
nal, with a case that looks something like a whiskey flask. It 
connects to the back of the 2400c via a special floppy cable and 
port — something we haven’t seen since Mac Plus days. 

The 2400c doesn’t indude a CD-ROM, but it does sport a standard 
PowerBook SCSI port, so adding an external SCSI drive isn’t a 
problem. We used a portable CD-ROM drive and didn’t experience any 
problems. If you need to add a modem or Ethernet capabilities, just 
spring for a card, plug it in, and you’re off. 

The keyboard is smaller than a standard keyboard, but this was a 



The Speed of a Comet 




WE TESTED THE POWERBOOK 2400C/180 USING THE SHAREWARE benchmark pro- 
gram Speedometer 4.02. Tests were run at identical bit depths and resolutions, with a 
standard set of extensions. The CPU test is overall number-crunching speed; the FPU 
test measures basic floating-point unit, or FPU, capabilities (important for graphics 
performance); and the Color test tells how quickly the computer can draw to the screen. 




SMALLER THAN ULYSSES: The PowerBook 2400c makes more of less. 
That’s the hot-swappable floppy drive on the right. 



surprisingly small problem. Even with my meaty hands, I was able to 
touch-type at almost M speed within about 15 minutes. It has a few 
nice touches, such as a row of fimction keys up top, and an inverted- 
T arrangement for the cursor control keys, much like what you see on 
a standard Mac keyboard. 

The industrial design of the 2400c is great, especially given the 
space constraints. Packed into the front of the PowerBook are bright- 
ness and volume controls, the keyboard, and a tap/double-k^/drag 
Trackpad. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is good for two to four 
hours. Close the lid on the 2400c while it’s on, and this Mac automat- 
ically goes to sleep, much like the 2400c’s distant cousin, the IBM 
ThinkPad. Two quibbles with the lid latch placement: The TrackPad 
button has a concave curve to make room for the lid latch, right where 
it should be widest; it took several missed thumb presses to finally hit 
it Also, the lid latch is sometimes difficult to open. 

The rear panel houses the PC expansion slot, the IrDA port, the 
power supply port, and as an added nice touch, the ADB port. No more 
pulling down the rear door just to plug in a mouse. The SCSI port, an 
external monitor port (and just like the 3400, this works in only video 
mirror-only mode), the floppy drive port, and the serial port are also 
in the back, all behind a flip-down door. The only ports located on the 
side of the 2400c are the sound-in and sound-out ports. 

Like its ancestor, the Duo, the 2400c uses a power supply that 
gives lots of power cord length without taking up more than one 
outlet on your power strip. Unlike the Duo, the 2400c has no 
docking capability. 

The AppleTBM partnership paid off on this one. (IBM manufac- 
tures the 2400c, and Apple contributes its unique style and software.) 
The PowerBook 2400c gives you lots of performance for your money 
without all the extras that wei^ down — ^and jack up the price of — ^flie 
PowerBook 3400. If you’re looking for bells and whistles, look else- 
where. If, however, you just want the core of a portable Macintosh — 
and a fast, light one, at that — ^get the 2400c. — David Reynolds 




GOOD NEWS: Bright display. Fast processor and architecture. 

Light weight. Cute design (especially the external floppy drive). 

BAD NEWS: Smaller than standard keyboard. Lid latch is hard to open.

w 



le’re at an odd point for the Mac, speedwise. Until the next gen- 
' eration of processor chips makes it into commercially avail- 
able machines, the megahertz margin between top-of-lhe-line 
machines and those for regular Joes and Janes is decreasing. Tower 
cases in point: the PowerCenter Pro 210 and the Power Macintosh 
9600 / 233 . One is a down-and-dirty street racer, the other a refined 
sports car. Both are fast with impressive features. The question is, what 
kind of driver would need whidi machine? 

Power Computing’s PowerCenter Pro throws down a daunting 
gauntlet. For $2,000 to $3,000, depending on configuration, you get 
a 210MHz 604e processor, a l6X CD-ROM drive, built-in 3D acceler- 
ation from ATI Technologies, Ethernet, two expansion bays, 1MB of 
Level 2 cache, and three 12-inch PQ slots. For a few dollars more, 
you can upgrade the 2GB hard drive, the I 6 MB of RAM (our unit had 
32MB), and the 2MB of VRAM. The PowerCenter Pro also has the 
Adaptec Power Domain SCSI card that could provide an Ultra-Fast and 
Wide data transfer rate of up to 40MB/sec. I say “could” because the 
IBM drive in the PowerCenter Pro supports only the Ultra-Fast and 
Narrow protocol, so you’ll have to poke along at 20MB/sec. (for 
comparison: Normal Mac SCSI runs at lOMB/sec. internally and 
5MB/sec. externally) . Still, this leaves a port on the Adaptec card free 
for another drive, internal or external, that can run 
at the faster rate. 

The specs of Apple’s Power Macintosh 
9600/233 are nothing to sneeze at, either. The 
processor is the fastest production model we’ve 
had in our hands yet: a 233MHz 604e. A 50MHz 
bus connects the chip to 512K of non- 
upgradable L2 cache, a 4GB Fast SCSI drive, a 
12X CD-ROM drive, 32MB of RAM, six 12-inch 
PCI slots, three internal bays and four remov- 
able bays for expansion nirvana, built-in 
Ethernet, and a 4MB IMS ’Rvin Tlirbo 

BEAUTY ISN’T SKIN DEEP: The insides and 
overall industrial design (not to mention the 
expandability) of the Power Macintosh 9600/233 
are the most alluring we’ve seen in any computer. 





BUILT FOR SPEED, NOT COM- 
FORT: Despite rough edges 
(inside and out), the Power- 
Center Pro 210 is a fast value. 

graphics board. As we noted 
in our review of the Power Mac 
9600/200 0un/97, p56), the easy- 
open industrial design of this unit is a 
wonder. Pull off a side panel, lay it down, 
flip open two hinged pieces, and everything’s easily accessible. In con- 
trast, to open the PowerCenter Pro, you have to take off four screws 
and wrestle off a metal casing. Then the RAM (noninterleaved) is fairly 
accessible, but the PCI slots are difficult to reach. There are plenty of 
metal edges, and dealing with cables is a pain. Also, the PowerCenter 
Pro produces a noticeable amount of fan noise, whereas the 9600/233 
was quieter than the monitor we attached to it. 

Anyway, about speed. The PowerCenter Pro is, indeed, wicked fast. 
In some of our processor benchmark tests, it came within 15 percent 
of the Power Macintosh 9600/233’s scores and actually beat the Power 
Macintosh 9600/200. This speed most likely is due to the PowerCenter 
Pro’s 60MHz system bus — ^faster than any current Mac or other Mac 
clone — and 1MB of L2 cache, as opposed to the 9600/233’s 512K. 
Also, the PowerCenter Pro comes with System 7.6.1 installed; the 
9600/233 ships with System 7.5.5 installed, but a 7.6.1 upgrade disk 
is included. System 7.6 has more PowerPC-native code and offers a few 
performance boosts. Although the PowerCenter Pro’s victories were by 
a slim margin (less than 10 percent), remember that the 9600/233 
costs well over a thousand dollars more. But don’t count out 
Cupertino’s pride and joy: In Speedometer 4.02 gr£q)hics tests, it beat 
the PowerCenter Pro by about 40 percent. Still, r^-world graphics 
usage depends on other variables, such as hard drive and bus speed. 
Our Adobe Photoshop tests reflected this: Gaussian blurs and unsharp 
mask filters were only 20 to 35 percent faster on the 9600/233. 

No doubt, the PowerCenter Pro 210 is a blazing machine and an 
amazing value for speed freaks who don’t need maximum expandabil- 
ity and graphics performance. Professionals who work with large 
graphics files day in and day out still will find the Power Mac 
9600 / 233 ’s increased graphics speed, greater number of PCI slots and 
expansion bays, and the functionally wonderM design invaluable — or 
at least worth the extra dough. — D, D, Turner

nice, solid machine. But nice only 
gets you so far in this world. 

Sometimes you need raw force and speed. 

And that, unfortunately, is where the 1400 
shows weakness, clocking in at only 
mediocre in our real-world tests. 

However, the oddly spelled NUpowr 
1400/183 upgrade card is like a dose of 
’roids for the ’Book. It not only replaces 
the I400’s 117MHz 603e processor with a 
183MHz version but has an integral 128K of Level 2 cache. 
Although it doesn’t bring the 1400 up to PowerBook 3400 speeds, 
it does give it a kick in the hinge. 

Installation is fairly easy: You need a small Phillips screwdriver, 
and possibly needle-nosed pliers. Flip off the keyboard, unscrew a 
few screws and support pins (here’s where the pliers help), unseat 



the processor card, seat the new one, and replace everything you’ve 
removed. Instructions are spare but sufficient. 

The speed boost was significant when using testing software 
(system calls showed nearly a 60 percent improvement), but in 
Adobe Photoshop 3.0.5 tests, the speed increase was far smaller 
(a 15 to 20 percent in such common actions as Unsharp Mask and 
Gaussian Blur). Most likely this is due to the l400’s 33.3MHz bus 
speed (which also accounts for the 
odd chip speeds of 117 and 183MHz, 
because they must be a multiplier of 
the bus speed). Still, screen redraws 
were noticeably faster, and other daily 
activities such as word processing, 
gaming, and movie playback were def- 
initely snappier. 

Given the modest price of the 
PowerBook 1400, it, plus this upgrade 
card, constitute a fairly affordable, 
fairly powerful portable system. In 
other words, nice and fast. People could say worse things about you. 
— D. D. Turner 



GOOD NEWS: Offers definite accelerafion. Built-in L2 cache. 

Comes with RAM Doubler 2 and Speed Doubler 2. 

BAD NEWS: Still can’t do anything about slow bus or video subsystem.

Sony DS(-F1 

COMPANY: Sony 
CONTACT: 800-770-9775, 

http://www.Na.sel.sonyxorn/products/imagmg/dscf1.html 
PRICE: $849 (street) 

T he Sony DSC-Fl is packed with more goodies than a Snickers is 
with peanuts, in a package not much larger. It weighs less than 
10 ounces and fits in the palm of your hand; I thought the X-ray 
spy camera that I ordered from the back of a 1972 Archie Comics 
issue finally came, a quarter century too late. 

The DSC-Fl uses a 1.8-inch LCD screen for everything from a 
viewfinder to a playback monitor to a distinctive user interface. Almost 
every control on the camera is accessed through an onscreen menu. 

The 640-x-480-pixel images are saved in a compressed JPEG 
format. The 4MB flash memory stores up to 30 120K “fine”-quality 
photos, 58 64 k “standard”-size images, or 108 32K “snapshots.” When 
getting into the 32K range, the compression ratio is so high that you 
will notice some artifacts caused by the compression. Otherwise, the 
image quality doesn’t differ much between settings — ^it’s not great but 
not bad. Sony obviously had online publishing in mind when design- 
ing this camera: The photos don’t hold up at anything bigger than 4 x 
3 inches at 150 dpi at the “fine” setting. Overall, image quality is notice- 
ably lower than Aat produced by other digital cameras we’ve tested, 
such as the Epson PhotoPC and Olympus D-200L. 

Though the DSC-Fl is no winner in image quality, color is a strong 
point. Sony’s camera transcends the odd color casts that plagued 
earlier digital offerings. The camera produces colors that are 
consistently bright and vibrant without 
being oversaturated. 

The DSC-Fl uses a4.8mm video lens, 
which is comparable to a 35mm lens on 
a 35mm camera. This puts the camera’s 
optics somewhere between a wide-angle 
28mm and a normal 50mm lens. A zoom 
feature would be nice, but the camera 
does have a macro option that allows 
closeups from 0.08 to 0.25 meters. 

Most intriguing is how you can 
customize the way the camera takes a 
picture. The list includes a “continuous” 
option that allows you to fire off a 
series of four or six images 0.2 seconds 
apart (not in fine mode, though). 
You can even bend the time-space 
continuum by selecting the “time 
machine” fimction: The camera records 
images directly preceding and following 
the one you take. I know it sounds crazy, 
but it works. 

MOUNT ’EM UP: Unique to the DSC-F1 is 
the motor-drive-tike ability to take a series 
of photos with one touch of the button. 





HAVE A COW: At the highest quality setting, the DSC-F1 doesn’t 
achieve the image quality of competing digital cameras, but it’s more 
than adequate for Web work. Color quality, however, is top-notch. 



One more beef I have with the DSC-Fl is the battery. The recharge- 
able lithium ion battery takes up to eight hours to charge fully and 
gives the camera 20 niinutes of recording time or 35 minutes of 
playback. This seems to be adequate; I usually exceed the memory 
allotment before depleting the power. The problem is the battery 
begins to lose power whether or not you’re using the camera. This 
prevents you firom taking the camera on a camping trip or anywhere 
else very far fi-om an AC outlet. 

Downloads take anywhere from 36 seconds for fine images to a 
14 seconds for snapshots. The software, named Digital Still Camera 
Album Utility (where do they come up with these names?) , trans- 
fers images to proof-sheet-like “albums” that you can save to your 
hard drive. Once the photos are in the albums, you can click on an 
information icon that will relate everything you forgot to write down 
about that particular shot. The program stores everything from shut- 
ter speed and flash setting to compression ratio, along with any 
smarmy commentary you might want to add. 

As a default, the utility saves im^es to your hard drive in their 
native CAMS format. CAMS is a type of JPEG format that you can’t 
open in Adobe Photoshop or anything else that I know of besides 
the Sony utility. So if you’re an unrepentant pixelhead like me, you’ll 
want to save your im^es in either ^EG or PICT format. 

If these two flavors don’t float your boat, the camera also comes 
with an image manipulation program by ArcSoft called PhotoStudio 
DSC. The package has most of the basic picks and shovels that you’ll 
need to click your way to a better-looking life without too much 
trouble. It doesn’t support layering, though, so you’ll have to think 
way back to Photoshop 2.5 and try to remember how to cope. 

Sony is to be applauded for the plethora of innovative features 
it packs into the DSC-Fl. However, this camera just doesn’t pro- 
duce images that look as good as they could. If image quality is your 
primary concern, this may not be the camera for you; feature freaks, 
though, will be in gadget heaven. — Ray Larsen 




GOOD NEWS: Good color. Fun features. Compact size. 

BAD NEWS: Tricky onscreen controls. Batteries drain by themselves. 
Lacking in image quality.

DEVELOPER: Claris 

CONTACT: 800-325-2747, http://www.claris.com 
PRICE: $49 (SRP) 

REQUIREMENTS: System 7 or later, 68020 or faster, SMB of free RAM, 9MB of 
hard drive space, email account 

I t takes a lot to get me to switch software packages (unless you dan- 
gle an alpha version in front of me), especially when the current 
software does the job. Such was ftie case with Qualcomm’s Eudora 
and Claris Emailer 2.0. While Eudora Light does most of what I 
wanted it to do, it hits the wall when it comes to multiple email 
accounts and filtering (you have to quit and restart the application, that 
sort of thing). Then I tried Claris Emailer 2.0. This email client does 
everything you expect it to — ^it handles filters and multiple accounts 
gracefully and adds a couple of enchanting features via /^pleScript. 

Emailer, of course, sends and receives email, and it does it 
through a comfortable user interface that includes an easy-to-use 
toolbar and mail browser. In the browser, 
select a mail folder on the left and a list of 
messj^es in that folder appears on the 
right. The list looks like a Finder window 
as seen in List view. If you want to sort your 
messages, merely click on the appropriate 
header and the messages resort themselves 
like magic. Emailer’s toolbar is equally 
easy to use. Its 11 buttons use built-in hot 
help: put the pointer over the mouse but- 
ton and the button’s function appears 
below. Hold down the command key and 
the conunand-key equivalents of the but- 
tons appear. 

Filters — called Mail Actions — are also 
a snap to set up: Just create a new action, 
give it a name, then set the criteria under 
which the action takes place. Once that’s 
done, you can define the action; it can be 
as simple as moving the mail to the appro- 
priate mailbox or as comphcated as set- 
ting the message’s priority, printing it, 
automatically forwarding it, then running 
an AppleScript that speaks to you to tell 
you that you have an important message 
waiting. The great part about setting up a Mail Action is that it’s easy, 
primarily thanks to good user interface design. 

Despite its simplicity, Emailer has some real power because of 
AppleScript. A built-in AppleScript menu allows you to access 
any AppleScript in the Emailer folder (see The Disc for Emailer 
scripts that you can use). As an added bonus, Emailer can run an 
AppleScript as a result of a Mail Action, which means you can 
use Emailer to control your Mac remotely via email (provided all 
of the actions and AppleScripts are properly set up). It can send a 
Shut Down message to your Mac, for example, with a simple 
electronic missive.

EMAILER MESSAGES look about as you’d expect 
them to look. The window structure has buttons to 
read the previous and next messages or add a 
recipient or attachment. 



EMAILER USES a file browser window to give you access to your mail 
messages. Just click on a maii folder and the filed messages will list 
themselves to the right. 

Emailer has some other good features. Because it keeps all its 
letters in a single database, the Find function searches through all 
messages and presents the ones that match in a separate window, 
much like the Finder’s enhanced Find File. Setup is also a breeze. 

Follow the four-step Easy Setup process 
and you’re ready to receive your email. If 
you have multiple email accounts, Emailer 
will handle those as well, including non- 
Internet mail sources such as America 
Online or CompuServe. Emailer also has 
the option of limiting large downloads so 
you’re not waiting all evening for some 
unwanted spam image to arrive, and it can 
even randomize your signature so you pre- 
sent a fresh face every time you send a 
message. 

All is not milk and honey with Emailer, 
however. Although it’s a simple program to 
use, Emailer has little in the way of docu- 
mentation, instead pointing you to the 
online help files — a problem if you chose 
not to install them. Also, Emailer doesn’t 
just go and get your email when you con- 
nect: you have to press a Connect button. 
You can, however, write an AppleScript that 
will get around this little problem (our cus- 
tom AppleScript is included on The Disc). 

Em^er is worth the $49, especially if 
you receive a lot of email or have special 
things you need to do with that mail. Sure, Eudora Light is firee, but 
it can’t do everything Emailer can do, and its user interface is way 
behind Emailer’s. Give it a try. You’ll like it — especially if you like 
AppleScript. — David Reynolds 



GOOD NEWS: Simple setup and interface. Good AppleScript 
support. Able to import Eudora mailboxes and addresses. 
Support for unlimited email accounts. Can speak incoming mail 
with some personality. 

BAD NEWS: No autoconnect feature without resorting to 
AppleScript. Documentation is sparse.

SmartSound for Multimedia 1.5 



COMPANY: Sonic Desktop Software 

CONTACT: 800-454-1900, http://www.sonicdesktop.com 

PRICE: $179.95 (SRP) 

REQUIREMENTS: CD-ROM drive, System 7.0 or later, QuickTime 2.1 or later 

N eed multimedia music in a hurry? Don’t know how to edit a 
QuickTime soundtrack? SmartSound remains the easiest-to- 
use automated soundtrack creation tool around and adds 
some significant features that make it more useful for movie mak- 
ers and Webmasters. 

SmartSound offers the Maestro window, which asks you a series 
of questions that step you through soundtrack creation. All the real 
work you have to do is to time the length of your movie. Composers 
who don’t mind getting their fingers into the mix can go right to the 
Sequencer and rearrange blocks of ready-made music imported from 
SmartSound’s music collection. Flags cue you to what blocks work 
well with others and where you’ll have to deal with transitions. 
SmartSound automatically designs well-timed openings and endings 
(the most important parts of any composition) . 

Version 1.5 adds the necessary ability to show the movie you're 
scoring. Now you can view thumbnails of the movie right in the 



Sequencer, tell SmartSound to 
create a score to the exact movie 
length, then export the movie 
with finished score attached. 

This revision supports RealAudio 
files and files compressed to 
the IMA audio standard for 
fast downloads. 

The SmartSound disc is 
crammed with samples in a range 
of musical styles, but there still 
isn’t enough thematic variety. 

However, add-on libraries are 
available from Sonic Desktop. You 
can import AIFF sound files or grab tracks off audio CDs, but these won’t 
blend as seamlessly as SmartSound’s own loop-friendly clips. One thing 
this program must add — a silence track. — Steven Anzovin 

GOOD NEWS: Fast, easy soundtrack creation. Shows QuickTime 
movies in the Sequencer. Supports Web audio file formats. 

BAD NEWS: Needs more music clips in more styles. 




WITH SMARTSOUND’S MAESTRO, 
soundtrack creation is a no-brainer.

I f Claris FileMaker doesn’t quite meet your database needs, you 
may want to check out this offering from ACI. In the past, 4th 
Dimension (4D) has been primarily a developer’s tool, but the 
company has made it much more accessible to the averse user. 
ACI didn’t remove any of the powerful development tools; it just 
made 4D easier to use. The program is even cross-platform, so you 
can use it on your Mac in your

TO BUILD A FORM, you “paint” in fiefds and specify variable 
parameters. The resulting Web page looks about this dull without 
customizing the HTML, however. 




Windows-based office. 

The 4D database is just 
one of several products in a 
suite of database development 
tools and add-ons. The data- 
base alone is within a hundred 
dollars of FileMaker’s $199 
price tag, and you get a whole 
lot more for your money. A 
bundled packi^e called 4D 
Desktop ($ 499 ) includes a 
compiler and a database 
object management tool 
called 4D Insider. Both of 
these tools are indispensable for 4D programming. 

It isn’t hard to set up

(the included tutorials are 
clear and useful). The pro- 
gram simplifies the process 
of automatically generating

of form styles. After you 
choose your fields and the 
kind of information they will 
hold, you’re ready to start 
using your new database. 
Many people could solve all 
their database problems 
without ever writing a line 
of code. 

Although previous ver- 
sions of 4D were not known 
for their speed, version 6 is

FileMaker Pro, but close, 
especially considering the 
greater data overhead in 4D.

in the world of development. 
This version is much more 
object oriented in nature and a 
good deal more intuitive. The 
language is compatible with 
previous versions but includes 
many more commands and a 
vastly improved debugger. 

One of the most com- 
pelling new features of 4D is 
built-in Web publishing. Any 
database you create can auto- 
matically be translated into 
and served as HTML on the 



How easy is ft to put a database on the Web from 
start to finish with 4th Dimension? It took me about 15 
minutes from opening the box to having a simple Web 
database up and running. Assuming you have created 
a database and installed at least one custom menu 
(you need at least one user-defined menu to act as 
the default command for displaying your data on the 
Web), here are the steps to put it on the Web: 

1 . Under the Tools menu in the design environment, 
select Explorer. Select your main table from the list on 
the left and select the Forms tab at the top. Click New. 

2. Give your new form a name, and choose the 
“detail” form type. Choose Web Aware for the tem- 
plate, then select the fields you want to appear by 
dragging them from the left column to the right. Save 
when you are finished. Repeat the steps above, 
choosing “list” as the form type to make a list layout. 

3. Make sure you have configured your TCP/IP set- 
tings properly, and you’re finished. Point your favorite 
Web browser to your machine’s IP address to test It. 
ACI 4D lists all your custom menus as commands for 
displaying and entering data. 



World Wide Web. The application becomes the Web server; all you 
have to do is run it on a Mac with a TCP/TP connection to the 
Internet and you’re in business. The server allows up to five simul- 
taneous connections, which is more than adequate for personal 
use. If you want to scale up to business use of 4D, there are 
upgrades that allow for unfimited connections. 

The built-in HTML for the forms and navigation aren’t the pret- 
tiest, but you could write your own HTML instead. When 4D’s Web 
features are turned on, it works just like a regular Web server as 
well, allowing you to serve regular files from any directory on your 
computer. You even can have an HTML link trigger a 4D procedure, 
in effect giving you the ability to perform superfast CGIs without the 
need for a “glue” program. (A ^ue program acts as an intermedi- 
ary between a Web server and database that cannot communicate 
directly, which can cause a decrease in performance.) 

ACI 4th Dimension has come a long way since version 3. The 
combination of a competitive price, improved user interface, 
extended programming capabilities, and automatic Web publish-

VeitorTools 2.0 

COMPANY: Extensis 

CONTACT: 800-796-9798, hnp://www.extensis.corn 
PRICE: $99.95 (street), $49.95 upgrade from DrawTools 1.0 
REQUIREMENTS: 68030 or faster; System 7.5 or later; Adobe Illustrator 6.0 or 
later, or Macromedia FreeHand 5.5 or later 




FIND A 
DEMO Of 
VectorTools 
2.0 on 
The Disc. 



A few years ago, Extensis introduced DrawTools, 
a set of plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator and Xtras 
for Macromedia FreeHand, providing Adobe 
Photoshop-style control over color editing and sophis- 
ticated 3D effects with interactive previews. 
VectorTools 2.0, its successor, is an impressive and 
well-conceived and -applied package. It works well 
and helps you work well. 

VectorColors provides absolute color control over 
vector objects, including random color replacement, 
multitone, and curve control. VectorMagicWand (similar to Magic 
Wand in Photoshop) selects items with similar attributes in the doc- 
ument and includes a floating palette with options to control the 
tolerance of the four selection attributes: fill color, stroke color, 
stroke weight, and size. VectorNavigator is a resizable floating palette 
with a preview mode and a thumbnail navigation that allows you to 
move instantly to any location in the document — Photoshop 4.0 
users should recognize this feature. VectorShape provides an incred- 
ibly easy means of adding 3D effects to illustrations by instantly 
projecting the graphic elements onto geometric shapes selected 
from the VectorShape palette. You then can customize the results 
with the equally simple-to-use controls. Settings can be saved for 
reuse. Very cool feature: the instant preview within the palette. 
In VectorLibraries, you can 
save images, text, or illus- 
trations, which can be 
viewed by thumbnail and 
quickly dragged and 
dropped to and from the 
floating library palette. For 
Illustrator users only: 

VectorObjectStyles adds the 
FreeHand-native ability to 
create and apply object 
styles within a document. 

Add to this mix customiz- 
able toolbars and a few 
other useful features, and it becomes abundantly clear that Extensis 
has created a must-have group of tools. 

The most impressive element of VectorTools 2.0 isn’t any single 
component: It’s the overall design and integration of the package. 
Clearly, Extensis knows these applications and — ^more important — 
knows how people work with Aem. — Ralph Seymour 




SHAPELY: VectorShape was used to bend a 
flat image to a curve that was later used in 
a design tor a bottle. 




GOOD NEWS: Significantly expands the capabilities of two already 
formidable illustration packages— Illustrator and FreeHand. 

BAD NEWS: Can make for a crowded screen.

F/A-18 Hornet 3.0 




COMPANY: Graphic Simulations 

CONTACT: 800-580-4723, http‘7/www.grapiisim.com 

PRICE: $45 (street); $19 update from version 1 or 2 

REQUIREMENTS: PowerPC, 25MB of hard disk space, 10MB of free RAM,

DEMO of 
F/A-18 
Hornet 3.0 
on The Disc. 



G ' 



I raphic Simulations has leapt to version 3.0 of F/A-18 Hornet, 
I adding lots of features, most of which support and surround 
I the core game rather than change it. New on the checkhst: an 
interactive training guide that features videos and whiteboard 
drawings; true radar masking that lets you evade enemy radar, SAM 
sites, and anti-aircraft weapons; rolling terrain that simulates 
actual hills and canyons; better graphics that include haze, clouds, 
and smoke; and improved missile modeling, which enhances 
weapons guidance and performance. 

All these features make flying the F/A-18 quite an experience, 
especially considering they are additions to an already complex 
flight simulator. The learning curve for Hornet 3.0 is steep, so if 
you’re planning on jumping into the cockpit to down a couple of 
enemy planes, don’t count on it. 

Instead, you’ll probably need to go 
through part of the interactive 
training guide. This informative 
section of the program includes 
some great videos, but there seems 
to be a bug in the video player.

PRICE: F-16 Fighterstick $109.95 (street); 

Pro Throttle $109.95 (street) 

F-16 Fighterstick 

Although you can fly the Hornet with a mouse, you 
would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t 
use a joystick. We used the CH Products F-16 
Fighterstick and found it a joy to use. Once calibrated, 
the joystick was quite accurate, and the four hat 
switches were useful for looking around and 
setting things like trim. Also, the programmable 
buttons came In handy fortrifling matters such as 
setting and firing missiles, dropping bombs, and 
the like. 

Pro Throttle 

For even better control, and a more realistic 
experience, you really should add a throttle control 
rather than trying to fake it with the keyboard. 

The Pro Throttle also has an eight-way hat switch, a 
bunch of programmable switches and push buttons, 
and a trigger. Besides, you sure can intimidate your 
office mates with your two-fisted flying approach.

PERCHED ON AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER somewhere near Kuwait, your 
F/A-18 is ready to rock. 

The simulator runs at up to 1,024 x 768 pixels, and it was silky- 
smooth on a 200MHz 604e (go figure). Its multiple views are also 
a pleasure — ^just wait until you watch your first AIM- 120 slam into 
an opponent’s plane. The enemy aircraft and anti-aircraft sites 
are tough, with good artificial intelhgence, so be prepared for a 

challenge. You may 
want to crank the dffi- 
culty down a couple of 
notches until you get 
the hang of things. If 
you don’t find playing 
against your Mac chal- 
lenging, you can always 
use Hornet’s network- 
ing capability to go 
up against another 
human pilot. 

If you’ve played 
Hornet 2.0, you’ll prob- 
ably find the missions 
familiar. Fortunately, 
for those who own ear- 
lier versions of Hornet, 
there is an upgrade 
option to version 3.0 
for only $19. The Korean Crisis expansion set, however, will not 
work with version 3.0, so you’ll have to continue to play that set 
with Hornet 2.0. 

Once you are comfortable in Hornet 3.0’s cockpit (and you 
ignore the occasional bug, such as being able to pull a nine-G turn 
without blacking out), you’ll find that this is a great game. The mis- 
sions are not new, but they play better than they did in 2.0. Besides, 
this is the best combat flight simulator around. — David Reynolds 




TWO ENEMY BOMBERS trail smoke after meeting with a couple of AIM-120 
air-to-air missiles, courtesy of the F/A-18. 

After a movie runs for a cou- 
ple of minutes, the audio 
resets to the beginning while 
the video continues to run — 
frustrating when you’re just 
about to get a vital piece of 
information. The manual isn’t 
much more help: It looks like 
something issued by the Navy, 
and it assumes that you 
already know something 
about flying a combat aircraft. 

Once you’re in the air, 

Hornet 3.0 is tons of fun. 




GOOD NEWS: Support for 1,024-x-768-pixeI resolution. Great flight 
dynamics, weapons, and opponent artificial intelligence. 

BAD NEWS: Steep learning curve. Ground school has some bugs. 
No new missions (aithough they have been tweaked). Sparse 
documentation.

Obsidian 



COMPANY: SegaSoft 

CONTACT: 888-734-2763, httpV/www.segasoft.com 
PRICE: $49.99 (SRP) 

REQUIREMENTS: Power Mac, 16MB of RAM, 4X CD-ROM 

A t some point, the word adventure will produce only a yawn in 
the jaded gamer. After all, the majority of games of this genre 
are slow, hunt-the-hot-spot, juggle-the-inventory yawners with 
dull plots and a smattering of multimedia. Obsidian does degrade at 
times to spot-hunting, but it is different. 

Obsidian makes a great effort to work more in a dream-based 
paradigm than a logical one — ^words appear out of clouds and golden 
rings, but you’re still faced with Byzantine bureaucracy before you 
can get a bridge fixed. It’s like walking through a Kafka novel, one 
beautifully rendered in 3D. You begin in the real world, albeit in 
2066, playing lilah, the mother of a nanotechnology that’s repairing 
the earth’s environment (nice to see a female protagonist without a 
big gun). On a hiking trip in the northwestern United States, Lilah 
and her partner. Max, discover a growing black rock (the Obsidian) , 
and Max is swallowed by it. Lilah — ^you — to the rescue. 




YOU’LL HAVE TO WORK your way through a bureaucratic nightmare of obsequious 



and, in this case, surly desk clerks. 

Gameplay is similar to most first-person adventure games since 
Myst’s arrival. Click the onscreen arrows to navigate (though in 
Obsidian, your motion plays as movies from point to point) and 
interact. The script and acting are almost there, though sometimes 
rankle. One annoying point: When you have to accomplish a task, 
characters constantly tell you exactly what to do, though not how. 
Guess that’s part of the bureaucratic nightmare. 

Expect to spend more than 40 hours getting through this dream 
world. You’ll enjoy some of the best visual design in gaming (visual 
and audio puns abound, too) and music from Thomas Dolby’s 
Headspace studio. It’s an interesting experience, this Obsidian. 
—D. D. Turner 




GOOD NEWS: Lovely artwork. Unique perspective. Flashes of 
originality. 

BAD NEWS: Puzzles can be annoying, as can hints from characters.

C hirp. Chirp. Chirp. The birds are enjoying the lovely day out- 
side. Should you join them to bask in late-summer sunshine? 
Of course not, silly, especially when you have a Mac and a whole 
selection of new CD-ROMs to browse. This month we offer you a dull 
health manual from those wild and crazy researchers at Harvard, a 



“light” Jenny Craig cookbook with even fewer pictures and movies than 
calories, a confusing portrayal of life in the universe, and a pretty good 
collection of some really old planes. On second thought, maybe this 
month you’d be better off spending your time outside — ^far, far away 
from those birds of ill omen. —Joe Mahr 



The Harvard Ouide ta Women’s Health 




IFiollOplI 






S olid research by respected physi- 
cians. Informative illustrations and 
charts. Thorough cross-referencing. 
Objective, well-reasoned reports on contro- 
versial topics. The Harvard Guide to Women’s 
Health offers just the sort of unadorned 
information dump you’d expect from the 
prestigiously dull institution. 

The health handbook is Harvard at its 
best. . .and worst. On one hand, you can read 
weighty discourse on 300 topics — ^probably 
the best collection of research on women’s 
health out there. On the other hand, you really 
have to read it. Long essays weighted down 
with an Ivy League vocabulary and a distinct 
lack of QuickTime clips make muddhng 
through the research less inviting than your 
annual trip to the gynecologist. 

It’s no surprise that the disc reads like an 



electronic book, since it’s based on one by 
the same title. In fact, if you spend $10 more, 
you can get the book with the disc. Of course, 
you might want to get just the book. 



Mark: I wonder about the emphasis on big- 
ticket afflictions and diseases rather than gen- 
eral health and preventive care. Also, the sim- 
ple alphabetical organization seems like an 
invitation to hypochondriacs to diagnose them- 
selves with an aortic rupture simply because 
it’s the first cause listed for stomach pains. 
Judy: One word: book. I’ll say it again. 
BOOK. Buy the book. 

Joe: Aside from making the easy joke about 
this disk curing insomnia, I think it needs 
many more visuals. Don’t just tell me, show 
me, too. 



IVY LEAGUE HEALTH lesson leaves you snoozing 
upright before you can even diagnose what ails you.

The Last Words: 



Mark: This could be just the thing for the 
Discovery Channel buffs. Three-dimensional 
animated battle sequences, rotatable airfield 
models, and battle maps (complete with 
menacing invasion arrows) elevate this above 
mere shovelware.

sponding text meant taking several steps back-

C ancer, birth defects, environmental 
racism — at first glance, this disc 
seems to serve a heaping helping of 
environmental woes sure to spur the ri^teous 
into indignation. But on closer inspection, the 
heaping helping is like leftovers. 

Witness to the Future is really 
an ofifehoot of a 50-minute docu- 
mentary by Branda Miller that 
focuses on how big, bad capital- 
ists and the tyrannical government 
meddled with Mother Earth in 
three communities. The disc also 



includes the entire manuscript of Rachel 
Carson’s Silent Spring — the book widely 
credited with launching the environmental 
movement in 1962. Together, they’re enough to 
bring tears to hard-core tree buggers. 

But not really anybody else. Mainstreamers 
who aren’t already recycling their Pepsi cans 
and writing reps in Congress for pesticide con- 
trols probably won’t be moved to activism by 
this collection of sob stories. If only the disc 
included a few more facts describing the who. 






what, where, when, and vdiy we should care 
about these environmental misdeeds, along 
with a few interviews with the corporate bad- 
dies, the disc would come off as more than just 
an emotionally charged one-sided debate. 



Mark: It seems as though more energy was 
devoted to splicing together repetitive and 
redundant snippets of outrage from the afflicted 
than, say, explaining what the environmental 
atrocities actually are. 

Judy: Decent as a motivational tool for 
grass-roots education and action, but what’s 
the interest, again, for the general public? 
Joe: It’s nice to see such fervor for the 
environment, but most mainstreamers won’t 
embrace the Granola movement without 
hearing both sides of the issue.

I f sitting in front of your Mac all day has 
made your thighs spread faster than a 
bad Apple rumor, you may be tempted to 
turn to Jenny Craig’s new CD-ROM cookbook 
to lighten up the situation. Well, in a word, 
don’t. Unfortunately for Jenny Craig disciples, 
star power doesn’t make up for a shoddy 
search engine and lackluster links. 

The disc is loaded with 180 “light” 
recipes, supposedly from Jenny herself, but 
just try to pare them down. Unlike other elec- 



tronic cookbooks, this database won’t let you 
search by specific types of dishes or nutri- 
tional needs. 

The CD-ROM does include standard 
QuickTime clips of how to beat eggs and store 
fresh chicken, but go to recipes where the 
demonstrations could 
be useful and there’s 
no hyperlink. Even 
worse, there are 
almost no pictures. 

Anyone wanting to 
get slim fast would 
do better exercising 
their right not to buy 
this low-budget cook- 
ing disaster. 



The Last Words: 



Mark: It’s just food shovelware, a glorified 
HyperCard stack that simply catalogs a 
randomly chosen selection of unappetizing 
food substitutes. Puh-leeze. 

Judy: So, just how hungry are CD-ROM 
developers these days? 
Did Jenny Craig quit chas- 
ing food to chase your 
hard-earned greens 
instead? 

Joe: This is the rice 
cake of cooking CDs

shouldn’t have to be this

S cientists may suspect there’s life on

prove than on MetaTools’ first edutain- 
ment CD-ROM, hosted by Stephen Hawking, 
renowned physicist and author of the best- 
selling^ Briejf History of Time. 

If you can find your way through the title’s

pulsars, Jovial moons, and extrasolar planets by 
bumping around somewhere on the disc. You 
may also chance upon Hawking’s “Life in the 



Universe” lecture, a few science games, and two 
time lines. Hawking shows that he knows his 
business on everything from Mars to the Milky 
Way, but unless you’re an astrophysicist, his lec- 
ture is drier than the dust rings around Saturn. 

Disc makers tried to 
jazz up the lecture with 
50 QuickTime movies 
and 200 animations 
on scientific principles 
that suffer the opposite 
problem: They’re too 
dumbed down. Trying 
to mesh childlike illus- 
trations with an MIT lec-

insulting, or both.

Mark: Another instance of mediocre

Judy: How about an interface that makes 
sense? C for effort, F 
for follow-through. 
Joe: The disc’s 

graphics insulted my 
intelligence, while the 
lecture insulted my 
stupidity. Science discs 
need to walk that fine 
line between informa- 
tion and education. 
This one stumbled all

M ario now has an even bigger head, but aside from that, a few 
splashy graphics, and a revised plot, there’s not much new in 
this version of the typing tutorial. The rest of the game stays the 
same; you type letters as they scroll across the screen in level after 
level. Your hands get a rest when Mario gives you the scoop on your 
stats: total keys typed, number of errors, level of accuracy, problem 
keys, and words typed per minute.

^at the Adults Thought 

I f we learned anything from toying with this month’s kiddy 
crop of games, songs, and typing drills, it’s that, contrary to 
popular belief, one bad apple does nbf spoil the whole barrel. 
Take Panasonic, for example. The software division of the 
hardware superpower recently r^eased four new titles In its 
Learning Ladder series, two of which are reviewed in this 
issue-~one we hated, the other wo toyed. 

Alphabet Adventure With Digby & Lydia, a one-trick pony 
with a limp inaagination, crude graphics, amateur actors, and 
mercifully brief animations, bombed with the adults and the 
kids. Multiplication Tour With Spike & Mike, however, 
charmed all generations with its fresh rock tunes, arcade- 
style math games, and creative sound sampling “studio” 
recording sessions. 

Unfortunately, both Alphabet Adventure and Multiplication 
Tour look equally exciting from the shelf, a nasty trap for unsus- 
pecting parents who havent done their homework. As more 
kids turn from books to corriputers for their educational needs, 
parents will no longer be able to simply flip through a few 
pages in the store before deciding which book to buy. Before 
investing children and money irj unfamiliar software producte, 
' parents should check but dernps; read reviews, and consult 
with other parents. After all, you really can't judge a software 
program by its box.— A/M/ Echfer

II 



FIND A 
DEMO OF 
Warcraft II 
on the 
super-phat 
Disc. 



Eight easy steps to a brain-busting PUD in no time flat. 



S O you’ve gone through all the scenarios in Warcraft 
n, Beyond the Dark Portal, and even the third-party 
Total War collection. While you’re jonesing for 
Blizzard Entertainment’s next adventure, Starcraft, 
challenge yourself by making your own scenario. First 
decide whether to make a single-player or multiplayer 



game. We recommend a single-player game as 
your first attempt because you can test its 
playability easily on yourself. As you refine 
your skills, you’ll discover what not to make 
your friends sit through when you later test your 
multi-player scenario. — Kathy Tafel 



Make a New Document 



To start, you need a new document. 
Choose a size and landscape type. 
It’s hard to make a challenging 64- 
x-64-tile game, so go right to the 
next size (96 x 96 tiles). Although 
the snow scene is just too cute, we 
prefer the skeletons of the wasteland. 



IT’S MORE 
FUN to 
choose a 
medium or 
large map. 





Set Scenario Goals 

The goals you set for your scenario determine the 
way you paint your landscape. If you make a 
maze, for instance, you don't need to worry about 
resources, but you do need to make lots of dead 
ends, traps, and reinforcement troops to rescue. In 
sea-oriented scenarios, you need to provide plen- 
ty of oil patches and wood for shipbuilding. On 
land, you can start out simple, then work your way 
up to pitting full-scale castles and armies against 
each other. In our scenario, a human starts in the 
lower left, fighting three Orcish armies to rescue 
two nonplaying characters (NPCs) before reach- 
ing the circle of power in the upper right corner. 





A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR awaits a fair maiden’s rescue. Yes, that’s right, she's 
rescuing him.

Split Land With Water 




Add Filler 



Creating a Warcraft II PUD — scenarios are commonly called 
PUDs, from the .pud file extension used in the PC version — is 
just like using a paint program. Your brush becomes the dif- 
ferent landscape features and player units, so when you click 
and drag, you’re actually painting trees and farms. Once 

you’ve figured out how the 
land should look, just pick 
the landscape feature to 
apply with your brush. Start 
with lots of land. Make some 
rivers or land bridges. Add 
enough trees so that players 
can build things, unless you 
give them enough wood at 
the beginning of the game. 
In our scenario, we blocked 
off the enemies so that our 
human player has to deal 
with only one Orcish horde 
at a time. 



Big, plain plains are boring. Use filler tiles to add skeletons, 
grass, critters, and “night" patches. My odd sensibilities dictate 
that a patch of grass should have some critters grazing on it. 



THEY MILL AROUND looking at the grass, but do they eat It? Nope.

Set Starting Conditions 





Use the Player Properties dialog box to designate the kinds of 
players in your game. For each of the eight players, choose the 
race (human or Ore), the controller (human player, computer, or 
passive or active rescue), and the tactics of the computer 



players (land attack, air attack, sea attack, or passive). Although 
you can’t make it a scenario objective, as in the campaigns 
Blizzard provides, you can assign players to be units that need 
to be rescued.

Next, give each player a starting point (the x and o) and a gold mine (unless you’re 
cruel). Each player needs at least one peon/peasant, or It can’t build anything. 
Because our scenario has a one-on-three imbalance, we gave the human a big head 
start with a few buildings and army units. 

1 . ) We gave the closest Ore a town hall and a few farms. 

2. ) The yellow Ores get three peons only. 

3. ) The Ores farthest away get only one peon. 

4. ) This ensures that the three hordes can’t mob the human all at once.

units against the trees nearest the human player.

Test Your Scenario 



Now comes the fun part. Once you’ve placed all your characters, 
you need to make sure they’re properly balanced and that when 
the computer players attack the human player, they have decent 
odds of winning. Our scenario originally cut off the yellow Ores 
from the human with a stand of trees, but the dumber-than-dirt 
Ores couldn’t see the forest for the trees, so we had to chop a 
path for them. 

Another way to slow or speed a player’s production is with wily 
placement of gold mines and town halls: The farther away the hall, 
the longer It takes for the player to collect gold. Also, if you place 
a mine near trees, sometimes the peasants/peons will walk the 
long way around the mine. When you’re testing, watch how effi- 
ciently the peasants/peons gather resources. 

Finally, you want to see whether the computer opponents are 
building properly, so you must either give yourself a zeppelln from 
which to watch them, or turn off fog of war. 




THIS CHANNEL LETS the yellow Ores attack the humans. Without It, they line up 
against the trees, waiting for some miracle to obliterate their obstacles.

H OW much would you pay to apply advanced formatting to 
every element on every page of your Web site with just one set 
of tags? Don’t answer yet! You also get pixel-by-pixel place- 
ment of text and pictures, control over fonts and colors, and 
graphics-like control over type. Wait! There’s more! We’ll also throw 
in all the secrets of the universe! Now how much would you pay? 

No, it’s not a new, expensive page creation tool from a European 
startup company: It’s Cascading Style Sheets, a set of standards that let 



average Webmasters like you and me use text tags to create pages with 
lots of control over type, color, and layout. Style sheet standards have 
been around for a few years but widiout any support in browsers. 
That’s finally changing, bringing some true page layout capabilities to 
HTML Web pages. As both major browsers begin to support style 
sheets over the next few months, you’ll see more and more people 
using style sheets. So throw away your Ginsu knives, here’s the 
MacAddict style sheet primer. —Joseph 0. Holmes 




LOOKS LIKE GRAPHICS, but it’s not! 



What the Heck Are Style Sheets, Anyway? 

If you get the impression that style sheets are like the styles in a word processor, 
you’re right. In a word processor, you can create a group of formatting choices. Say 
you’ve created a style called “Heading.” It’s 18-point Helvetica Black with no indenta- 
tion and a space before the paragraph. With a single keystroke or menu selection, you 
can apply the style to any paragraph. Instantly, the text in the paragraph is 18-point 
Helvetica Black, the paragraph has no indentation, and there’s a space before it. 

HTML style sheets are similar. They use a special set of text tags and let you create 
groups of formatting characteristics that you can apply all at once to elements in your 
pages. A style sheet specifies exactly what formatting to apply and to which HTML 
element — sheadings, paragraphs, body, and so on. The style is applied consistendy to every 
occurrence of that element on that p^e, or even across all the p^es on your site. Also, 
you can change the look of all your pages simultaneously, just by altering a single style tag. 





Foi'v^rd Horn? 









USING STYLE SHEETS, you now can pertorm real page layout. 
Unfortunately, you now also can create very ugly layouts. 



Page Layout at Last 

Here’s the best news of all: The style sheet standards include 
formatting options that we’ve only dreamed about until now. Pixel- 
by-pixel placement of im^es and text. Text alignment and indenta- 
tion. Fonts by family, size, color, and style. Background color. 
Finally, unlike other promising technologies such as Adobe 
Acrobat, style sheets are a truly bandwidth-friendly solution. Since 
everything is done with text tags, style sheets can imitate graphical 
headlines but use just a fraction of the bandwidth requirements of 
a .gif or .jpg file. 

So what’s the drawback? As of this writing, only Microsoft 
Internet Explorer 3.0.x supports style sheets, thou^ Netscape 
Communicator (the successor to Navigator 3.x and in beta testing as 
we go to press) also supports them. Remember, too, that 
even when both major browsers support style sheets, 
you’ll stiU have to take into account the millions of 
people using older browsers or other browsers such as 
Mosaic. Fancy style sheet layouts can be almost indeci- 
pherable to a browser that can’t read style sheets. (See 
examples at right). 

For the near future, you can practice fancy tricks, but 
your pages should stick to styles that look good in both 
old and new browsers. This means you can mess with 
font families and colors and the like, but restrict fancy 
stuff to p^es where only style-sawy browsers are invited.

style Sheet Basics 

Building Blocks 

The most basic building block of a style sheet is the rule. At its 
simplest, a rule is nothing more than a line of text on your HTML 
page, a line which tells your visitor’s Web browser that one element 
of the p^e — a header, the body, the BLOCKQUOTE, for example — 
should take on certain formatting, such as fonts, font sizes, colors, 
and spacing. Here’s a very simple rule — and notice right now that 
style sheets use curly braces rather than the familiar brackets used 
in HTML: 

Hl{font-family: Arial Black} 

This rule tells a browser that every level-one heading, HI, on 
your page should be displayed in the font family Arial Black. The first 
part of a rule, which specifies the element of the page that is to be 
formatted, is called the selector — in the example above, it’s HI or a 
level-one heading. 




The rest of this rule, the part inside the braces, is known as the 
declaration — {font-family: Arial Black} — and that’s where the 
rule specifies which property is to be set to which specific value. 
In our example, the property “font-family” will be set to the value 
“Arial Black.” 

When you specify a font, you can — and should — list alterna- 
tives, including a font that’s likely to be found on most visitors’ 
computers. List the alternatives separated by commas, and always 
include a generic family at the end, in case your visitor has none of 
your specified fonts. The officially recognized generic families 
are serif (for example. Times), sans serif (Helvetica), cursive 
(Zapf-Chancery), fantasy (Western), and monospace (Courier). 

The rule will resemble the following: 

Hl{font-family: "Comic Sans”, Helvetica, sans- 
serif} 

Note the quotation marks around Comic Sans above. When you 
list a font that includes white space — that is, a font name made up of 
two or more words — ^it helps to put the name of the font in quotation 




marks. Your browser will read it correctly in more circumstances. 

Here are some of the most common properties and values 
currently supported by Internet Explorer 3.0: 
font-family (Helvetica, serif) 

(italic) 

(bold, bolder, lighter)

You can apply style sheets to various elements of the Don’t worry about the 

page, at the “block” level — that is, to elements that spaces that surround the

graphs, and dividers — as well as to elements at you, include spaces as you 
the “text” level^ — for example, to anchor, bold, like. All of these work fine:

What Fonts Are These?

are installed on your visitor’s computer. That’s why you 
should pick commonly available fonts or provide a pointer to free

free.htm). The company also offer examples and advice for fonts 
and style sheets on the Web. Check out the style sheet pages at

Where Do Rules Live? 

Rules and other style information usually belong inside a pair of 
HTML style tags: <STYLE> and </STYLE>. That style information 
can be put in several places, but for now, let’s apply our style to all 
the elements on just one page — ^no other pages on your site will be 
affected. To do that, we’ll put it inside the page’s HEAD tag, like so: 
<HEAD> 

<STYLE TYPE=»text/css”> 

<!- 

Hl{font-family: Arial Black} 

-> 

</STYLE> 

</HEAD> 

Be sure to declare that the stjie type is “texl/css” (Cascading 
Style Sheets). Also make sure to use the HTML comment tags (<I — 
and — >) to surround the rules. This commenting out of rules 
makes sure that we don’t confuse older browsers, which can’t read 
the new tags. 

Type the following style sheet between the HEAD tags of any Web 
page. (This will cause all level-one headings on that page to be dis- 
played in the Arial Black font, at 26 pixels high, and in red). 



<STYLE TYPE=”text/css”> 

<!- 

Hl{font-family: Arial Black; color: red; font-size: 
36px} 

-> 

</STYLE> 

The headers will look something like this in Internet Explorer: 

file:///,.,/stylesheet5,html 

^ Back Forward Home Refresh Images Open Print Search 



Today's News 

AMJieie'sthene’ws! 



If yours don’t, look for typos, make sure there’s no space between 
the font size (36) and type (px, for pixels), and be sure you’ve used 
curly braces. Finally, be sure the Arid Black font is installed. 



Compact Your Code 

You can list as many rules as you like: 

Hl{forit-family: Arial Black} 

H2{font- family: Arial Black} 

H3 {font- family: Arial Black} 

But you’ll make your style sheets much more compact and read- 
able by grouping selectors and declarations. String selectors together, 
separated by commas, like this: 

HI, H2, H3 {font-family: Arial Black} 

Another example: 



BLOCKQUOTE, CITE {font: courier} 

And string declarations together, separated by semicolons, like so: 
BLOCKQUOTE {font-family: courier; 

font-size: 12pt; 
line-height: 14pt; 
font -weight: bold} 

For clarity, you can arrange the declarations the way we did 
above, each on its own Une, indented with a tab. Isn’t that easy to 
read? You may combine both methods, thus grouping both selec- 
tors and declarations. 



Contextual Selectors 

Finally, you can specify formatting for certain elements 




TRY THIS! Specify special formatting for elements that occur within another style. 
Here, the emphasizefil text is treated differently in heading style and in body style. 



whenever they occur within another style. Do this by listing the ele- 
ments separated by white space, not a comma. 

Here’s an example. Let’s color all emphasized text (EM) red 
whenever the emphasis appears in a level-three heading (H3) 
but not anywhere else. 

Here’s Ae rule: 

H3 EM {color: red} 

No emphasized text on your page is going to appear red unless 
it appears inside an H3 set of tags. 

Now you have almost all the basics you need to build simple 
style sheets on a page. Next month we’U look at some advanced 
topics, such as precise pixel-by-pixel margin settings, which we’ll 
use to create really cool graphics-like text similar to the pages at 
the top of this month’s column. Have fun experimenting! 

Joseph 0. Holmes, aka Professor Web, would love to hear your tips 
and questions on this subject or any other Webmaster topic. Address 
your email to professorweb@pobox.com, but please remember, he 
can’t personally reply to every message. 



Color Equals Destiny 

he official suggested list of style sheet colors is aqua, black, 
blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, 
red, silver, teal, white, and yellow, based on the lovely (cough) 
Windows VGA palette. Individual browsers may support more 
colors. Microsoft Internet Explorer, for example, also supports light 
blue and dark blue, orange and dark orange, dark red, light yellow, 
dark green and light green, and light gray, among others.

CHECK OUT 
NETFINDER, 
Mac OS 



Purge, and a 
trial of Claris 
Emailer on 
The Disc. 



We answer all of your technioal questions, no matter how simple or oomplex, 



Qi Over the years, I’ve collected quite a few of those 
freebie AOL and CompuServe sign-up disks. Are 
these disks OK to reformat and use for storing data? 
is it safe to assume that because they’re sent out free 
by the jillions they might be of substandard quality for 
everyday use? 

A If it seems you can’t open a magazine, check your mailbox, or 
eat an airline meal without an America Online disk dropping into 
your lap, you’re right. Those buggers are everywhere. According to 
the San Francisco Chronicle (March 21, 1997), PTP Industries of 
Baltimore mailed out roughly 150 million trial subscription disks 
for AOL since August 1994. Tliat’s enough floppies to form a stack 
307765 miles high, or the equivalent of 1,117.6 Sears Towers. Laid 
end to end, those AOL disks would measure 8,286 miles, enough to 
encircle Earth’s moon 1,22 times. You could use the disks to retile 
the floor of the Pentagon (the world’s largest office building) 3.45 
times. Put another way, those disks would form a cube 51.7 feet on 
a side. And assuming those were all high-density floppies, they 
could hold 202.27 terabytes of data. Oh, and to answer your ques- 
tion, feel free to reformat the disks and use them as you would any 
other floppy — ^we’ve found the AOL ones to be as reliable as the 
standard-grade disks. 

0 I have a Performa that came with an internal 
modem. How do I upgrade to a faster modem? 

A You could remove the existing internal modem and replace it 
with a faster one, but I wouldn’t go that route. Fd buy an external 
modem, as they are far more common and versatile. Personally, I’ve 
always been a big fan of modems from Global Vill^e Communication 
(800-736-4821 or 408-523-1000, http://www.globalvillage.com), 
but whatever model you choose, I suggest getting as fast a modem as 
you can afford — a 33.6Kbps modem is plenty fast; a 56.6Kbps 
modem should be top-end for at least another year. Once you’ve 
made your choice, upgradiug is easy. 

As long as your Performa has an internal modem installed in its 
Comm Slot, the modem serial port on the back of the computer is dis- 
abled. (That’s why Apple placed a small plastic plug over the port.) So 
the first thing you must do is carefully remove the internal modem and 
place it in an antistatic bag for safekeeping. Using a penknife, remove 
the plastic plug covering the modem serial port. Connect your exter- 
nal modem’s serial cable to the modem port, take the phone line that 
was going into the internal modem and plug it into the external 
modem, and you’re done with the hardware installation. All that 
remains is to install the software that came with your modem, then 
adjust the communications settings of the online software you use. 



Q I have a PowerBook with 32MB of memory. Should 
I turn on Virtual Memory as Apple suggests, or is 
it unnecessary? 

A I suggest turning on Virtual Memory in the Memory Control 
Panel only if you try running an application and the Mac tells you 
there’s not enough free memory. The benefit of Virtual Memory is that 
it allows you to augment the physical memory in your computer with 
unused hard disk space. It has the added benefit of lowering memory 
requirements for PowerPC-native applications. But if you have suffi- 
cient RAM, all Virtual Memory does is make the Mac sluggish: The 
hard drive is much slower than solid-state memory, and on a 
PowerBook, the more you use your hard drive, the faster your battery 
will drain. If you don’t have enough memory to run all the programs 
you like simultaneously, I recommend buying some real memory 
(prices are at historical lows) or RAM Doubler from Connectix (800- 
950-5880 or 415-571-5100, http://www.connectix.com). 



o 


There is not enough memory to open 


“Premiere” (6,6 12K needed, 588K 


auaiiabie). 




To make more memory auaiiabie, try 




quitting “Photoshop”.

DON’T BOTHER TURNING ON Virtual Memory unless these types 
of alert boxes are a common sight. 



d 1 have a question about the icons that appear at 
the bottom of the screen during startup. Some of mine 
overlap each other. Is this normal, or is there a way to 
correct this? 

A Don’t sweat it. Some extensions and control panels have a bit of 
code in them that tells the Mac to display their icons as they load into 
memory at startup. (Sometimes you’U have an option for turning off 
the startup icon in the individual control panels.) However, there’s no 
standard method for displaying these icons, and some programmers 
get fancy with animated ones. As a result, things can get cluttered as 
icons overlap, refuse to wrap into higher rows, or stair-step across 
the screen. It looks unruly, but it’s only an aesthetic issue — there’s 
nothing wrong with the loading. Both Conflict Catcher from Casady & 
Greene (800-359-4920 or 408-484-9228, http://www.casadyg.com) 
and Now Startup Manager from Now Software (800-689-9427 or 
503-274-2800, http://www.nowsoft.com) have options that ensure an 
orderly progression of icons at startup.

Is there any way to have access to email, FTP, and 
Usenet without having access to the Web? I am 13 
years old and my mom won’t allow me to go on the 
Web, but I need email really bad. 

A One approach is to sign up with an Internet service provider 
(ISP) but not use a browser. A browser, such as Netscape Navigator, 
allows you to surf the Web in addition to doing all the other things you 
want. Or, you can use individual programs for the other tasks. For 
instance, I recommend using Claris Emailer (800-795-1000 or 408- 
727-8227, http://www.claris.com) for email, Jim Matthews’ share- 
ware Fetch or Peter Li and Vincent Tan’s shareware NetFinder for FTP, 
and John Norstad’s freeware NewsWatcher for Usenet. These pro- 
grams are included in the Apple Internet Connection Kit, which is 
bundled with Mac OS 7.6 (find a trial of Claris Emailer and the share- 
ware NetFinder on The Disc). However, if your mom is concerned 
about what you might find on the Web, forbidding you to use a 
browser isn’t going to ensure you don’t stumble upon offensive mate- 
rial in Usenet groups or at FTP sites. Much better would be to use one 
of the parental control utilities such as Cyber Patrol (Microsystems 
Software, 800-828-2608, http://www.microsys.com) or 
SurfWatch (Spyglass, 888-677-9452, http://www. 
surftvatch.com) in conjunction with a browser. 



(800-227-3971 or 318-424-9791, http://www.shrevesystems.com), a 
well-known vendor of discontinued and refurbished Macs and parts, 
currently has two options for your Performa 630. For $399, you can 
get a reftirbished Performa 6200 logic board with a 70MHz PowerPC 
603 CPU. For $200 more, you can opt for a Performa 6300 board with 
a lOOMHz PowerPC 603e. Neither can hold a candle to today’s mod- 
el^, but both blow the doors off the 33MHz 68LC040 in your current 
system and will allow you to run most of the latest programs. 



a 



U After installing System 7.5 
Update 2.0, I noticed a file called 
MacTCP DNR in the System Folder. 
Do I need this file? 



Hot Tip: 

When you install a new 
System, such as Mac OS 7.6, it 
removes any extensions or items that 
you no longer need. So if you notice 
that, say, the PowerPC Interrupt 
Extension is missing after you install 

A Mac OS 7.6, it simply means that 

Probably not. MacTCP DNR contains you no longer need it. There’s no 
resources for TCP applications written for System 6. reason to put it back in 

The Mac OS installer places it inside the System Folder your System, 

because that’s where older applications expect to find it. 

Although it’s unlikely most users will ever need this file, don’t 
bother trashing it. If you do, the Mac will just re-create a new MacTCP 
DNR file the next time you restart. 



The fan in my Power Mac 7600 seems to make 
different amounts of noise over the course of the day. 
Is this normal? 

A Yup. Excessive heat can harm delicate electronic components, 
so the power supplies in the Power Mac 7200, 7500, and 7600 con- 
tain circuits that monitor the internal temperature of the computer. 
As the temperature changes, the speed of Ae fan is adjusted to keep 
the components cool and comfortable, thereby extending their use- 
ful life. When the speed of the fan changes, you may notice a differ- 
ence in the sound it makes, ff the sound is excessive and 
the unit is still under warranty, you may want to ask 
Apple to replace or repair your Mac. 



Sometimes when I choose 
About This Computer from the Apple 
menu, the Largest Unused Block of 
memory Isn’t equal to the Total 
Memory minus the amount used by 
all the open applications. Why not? 



U How can I make a floppy disk’s window open auto- 
matically upon insertion, the way commercial disks do? 

A Make sure your floppy isn’t write-protected, then insert it into 
your Mac and double-click its icon to open a window revealing its 
contents. Place the window wherever you want on the desktop, and 
change its size and View attributes if you wish. When everytihing’s 
perfect, drag the floppy disk icon to the Trash. This writes the 
window status information to the floppy before ejecting the disk 
from the drive. When you reinsert that disk, its windows should 
appear the same as they were the last time the disk was ejected. 



U I’ve noticed that many new products require a 
PowerPC chip, which my Performa 630 doesn’t have. 
I’ve searched through every mail-order catalog and 
can’t find a PowerPC upgrade anywhere. Where can I 
find this upgrade, and how much will it cost me? 

A A good place to start a search like this is Apple’s Tech Info 
library (http://til.info.apple.com/til/til.html. After verifying that the 
Performa 630CD can indeed be upgraded to a PowerPC by swapping 
logic boards, the trick becomes locating the upgrade. Shreve Systems 



#1 Some programs, most notoriously 
Netscape Navigator, don’t always relinquish the memo- 
ry they were using when you quit. This is called memory 
leakage. One sure-fire way of reclaiming all of the available memory 
is to choose Restart from the Finder’s Special menu, but that’s a pain. 
I prefer launching E. Kenji Takeuchi’s freeware program Mac OS 
Purge (find it on The Disc) , which quickly and simply makes available 
all unused memory without restarting the Mac.

Qi Whenever I insert a disc into the CD-ROM drive on 
my new Power Mac, the drive seems to make strange 
revving noises. Should 1 be concerned about this sound? 

A It’s normal if your Power Mac has a fast CD-ROM drive (8X or 
better). The first generation of CD-ROM drives could transfer data at 
1 50K per second, but the throughput of newer drives is now measured 
in multiples of that speed. For example, an 8X drive theoretically can

O n a PCI-based Power Mac, open any program 
that supports drag and drop (such as 
SimpleText), and type ^^secret ROM image” without 
the quotation marks. Select the text and drag it to 
the desktop to see an image of some Apple engi- 
neers. When you’re done admiring this photo, just 
click the mouse to return the screen to normal. 



WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE, and 
what are they doing in your

transfer data up to eight times as fast, at 1,200K per second. One way 
this improved performance is achieved is through higher rotation 
speeds. Unlike hard drives, which always spin at a constant speed 
(several thousand revolutions per minute), CD-ROM drives adjust 
their spin rates as the laser moves around the disc. They also spin at 
different rates depending on the type of disc in the drive. The faster the 
drive spins a disc, the more data pass under the laser. The problem is 
that spinning a disc at higher speeds makes more noise because of the 



revving motor. Although this may be annoying, it’s perfectly normal. 

Usually you hear noise from your CD-ROM drive only when the Mac 
is reading data discs; audio discs play at a slow speed and shouldn’t 
make any noise other than the music you’re enjoying. The printed art- 
work on some discs may make their weight slightly off-center, resulting 
in wobbling and vibration at high speeds. According to ^ple, this, too, 
is normal and won’t damage the discs or the Mac. 

Q I like using the Control Strip, but is there any way 
to place it somewhere other than in the lower left-hand 
corner of the main screen? 

A Sure! Option-click the little tab at the end of the Control Strip, 
then drag the outline of the strip wherever you want. The strip can 
go on the right, at the top, in the middle, even on another monitor. 
The only stipulation is that one edge of the strip must be at the edge 
of a screen. Release the mouse button and the Control Strip appears 
in its new location. 




THE CONTROL STRIP can be repositioned by Option-dragging the 
right-most tab.

Civilization II 



Civilization is one of the 
best games ever made— stilL The PC world got 
an upgrade last Christmas, and thanks to 
MacSoft, we get ours this fall. Civ II uses the 
same premise as Civ 1 but with better diplomacy, 
more units, Wonders of the World videos, and 
improved graphics. 



Diablo 



Diabio is a multiplayer role-playing game with a 
gothic fantasy look. You play one of three character 
types— warrior, rogue, or sorcerer— as you wend 
your way through a labyrinth searching for the mad 
King Leoric’s missing son. A group of friends makes 
gameplay easier, as your weaknesses are balanced 
by their strengths. 



Gundam 0079 



• According to MacAddict online editor 
Mark Simmons (also maintainer of 
http://gundam.anime.net), who has 
played the Japanese version, the 
FINDQT Gundam 0079 is 

MOVIES of faithful to the original 

Gundam Wistsl Be pre- 

0079 on thrash on giant robots as 

The Disc. wander through the ruins of Las 
Vegas, among other scenarios. Oh, 
and don't tune out during the captain's mono- 
logue— you'll miss your only chance to snatch your 
pilot wings and it’s Game Over. 



88 MacADDtCT 



H ey! Remember back in 1993 there was 
this awesome space-based role-playing 
game, you could play it against your 
friends, it was very cool and had swell 
art, you didn’t have to win by whomping 
people, and you could suborn advisors and steal 
technology? You could design your own aliens 
who liked different things, so you could share a 
solar system with rock eaters? It was Mac-only 
and a pretty sweet game, except that when you 
upgraded to a Quadra, it crashed — so you put it 
away and wondered, “Are they ever going to 
make a Pax n for my modem Mac?” 

Wonder no more. After a development saga 
that spanned four years, more worthy of 
daytime TV than a computer magazine. 

Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain will 
be published by THQ and should be 
available this fall. To find out where 
Pax II has been all these years, 
and where it’s headed, we spoke 
with Andrew Sispoidis, president of 
Heliotrope Studios. 



MA: Pax Imperia was developed 
and published by Changeling. 

How did Pax II get to THQ? 

AS: As Changeling, we decided 

to split into two separate entities: 

One would be a development 
house [Heliotrope], and the 
other would be a publisher 
[Changeling — see 
“PowerPlay,” Jid/97, p94, 
for an interview with 
Changeling’s president, 

Jeanine DeSocio]. We felt 
we could better manage 
our resources by doing 
that. Simultaneously, Blizzard 
Entertainment [of Warcraft fame] had 
contacted us about doing Pax H as both a PC and 
Mac tide, so it worked out really well. 
[Heliotrope] worked with Blizzard on the pro- 
ject for a number of months [until summer ’96] . 
THQ came along and was interested in acquiring 
Heliotrope. Pax H was an important element [of 
the deal] for THQ, as they wanted to ship a tide 
with brand recognition in a reasonable time 



frame. As part of the deal, Pax came along with 
[Heliotrope], We reacquired the rights from 
Blizzard and basically became one big, happy 
family with THQ. Heliotrope is now a wholly 
owned subsidiary of THQ. 

MA: How is Eminent Domain different 
from the original Pax Imperia? 

AS: Pax n is an order of magnitude bigger — 
it’s a more sophisticated gaming exq>erience. 
We’ve taken what we learned from Pax I — the 
theme and the concept — ^and now, because of 
technology — hardware being where it is and 
operating systems \shere they are--we can 
create ihe game we wanted to create all 
along. What we’ve really done is take 
the original idea and filled every litde 
hole and every litde gap and created 
a really good gaming system. From 
here we can build other products in 
the same universe ^\diich will be able to 
hook right into Eminent Domain. Pax n 
is the first stqp in the big plan. 

MA: It looks as though the art- 
work has undergone a major overhaul. 

AS: We started to create the art in 2D 
and then decided that it would make 
a much more beautiful experi- 
ence to do it in 3D. We’re using 
Lightwave, the same package 
used in Babylon 5, to create 
beautiful artwork that’s 
reusable in a lot of different 
ways. For example, ships 
have complete rotation in 
combat, you can see planet 
surfaces, and cities look like 
cities. It makes a lot more sense, for 
the type of game Pax is, to immerse the 
player by using 3D. 

MA: What are the different ways you 
can win the game? 

AS: Depending on the type of player you are, 
you can reach your objectives and make an enjoy- 
able experience in a number of ways. Of course. 




rd 

rather play a game 
where I win through an 
intelligent approach, 
rather than through 
brute strength. 






AT A GLANCE you can 
see how your planet is 
doing. Buildings repre- 
senting trade and con- 
struction get built in the 
foreground, while the 
size is drawn in the 
background. After an 
attack on your city, you 
can see the damage 
done to your buildings. 

V 






THIS GRATUITOUS SHIP FLY-BY shows 
off the gorgeous modeling work done in 
Lightwave. No wonder if s taken so long! 



THE GAME’S MAIN CONSOLE gives you access to the galactic 
map, ship design, technology, combat, and your planets. 



there’s the obvious — ^build a huge armada of 
ships and go out and crush everyone in existence. 
But the cooler side is that you can have political 
victories as well. Basically, you find all the players 
in the game and establish some sort of relation- 
ship with them — ^trade i^eements, repair and 
resupply treaties. When you reach a certain level 
of alliance, with a majority of players, it’s consid- 
ered a victory. You become the central hub, polit- 
ically and economically. 

There’s also the economic victory, in which 
you control resources and money. The most 
insidious route is espionage, where you bribe 
other players’ advisors, or steal ships or tech- 
nology. The ultimate level of espionage is over- 
throwing the other players’ empires. Finally, 
there’s the technological race where you’re 
more advanced than the other players. 



MA: Do you think having multiple 

objectives will help Pax II appeal to 
more people? 

AS: Pax, like SimCity and similar strategy/ 
simulation games, has a reward system that’s 
not based entirely on aggression. That’s really 
important. I don’t play games based on [aggres- 
sion]. I play games like Quake and Duke 
Nukem, but honesdy I’d ratiier play a game 
where I can build something and hopefully win 
through an intelligent approach, rather than 
through brute strength. For that reason, Pax will 
appeal to a broader audience. — Kathy Tafel 

Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain’s anticipated 
release date is August 1997. Catch a preview at

Racing Days is another title brought to you by the 
fine folks at Bandai. Oval tracks got you down? 
This racing game lets you fine-tune your car’s 
look and performance before you take it for a spin 
on a series of hills, hairpm turns, and high-speed 
straightaways. Race your friends with modem^o- 
modem play. 



If s Warcraft in outer 

space! Not really. Besides an isometric view, 
Starcraft has three races, so you need to use 
more of a rock-paper-scissors strategy than a 
checkers strategy. Humans vie against the 
Protoss and a new, weird race that doesn’t like us 
very much.

Gilbert or Giblet? 

You Make the Call 

After a pass through Microsoft Word’s spell checker, 
it appears that Apple’s head honcho is more of a 
giblet than a Gilbert. No wonder Amelio prefers that 
everyone just call him , “Doc.”

Service With a Smiie 



^We veterans of the vast, impersonal world of the PC aren’t used to this kind of ser- 
vice— imagine having Mr. Goodwrench call you from the local Chevy dealer to say 1 
heard you were having a little trouble with your new car. Mind if I drop by and take a 
look?*” ---^ohn Flanagan, editor and publisher of Honolulu’s Star-Bufletiri, in a 
note to his readers after a forrher Apple engineer who had read that Flanagan 
was having problems with his new PowerBook called him up, came over to his 
office, and fixed it for him. We think someone just has a crush on John.,.. 



HOW DO order PIZZA? 

“Two-thirds of the people on the planet die without ever making orj 
receiving a phone call. Jhere are some clear Impediments to 
bringing 100-megabit Ethernet to those people when we can’t 
even get a phone call in to them yet.” — Scott McNealy, CEO of 
Sun Microsystems, waxing philosophic over the future of network | 
computers In an Interview with Upslde.com 
(http://www. upslde.com) . 










For Love or Money 

“God knows he makes enough money, but he’s gracious enough to 
say don’t pay me until we get the stock up. Apple’s shareholders 
should be so lucky.” —Igor Sill, president of a San Francisco-based 
venture capital firm, applauding Netscape Communications chief 
executive Jim Barksdale’s decision to accept only $1 in salary this year. 
Barksdale’s gesture was a show of faith designed to raise company 
morale over falling stock prices. Barksdale earned $100,000 last 
year. Apple’s Giblet made $2.8 'million^ 




Next year when Murray asks for a hidden 

FILE IN HIS CAKE, HE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC. 




THE REALITY CHECK IS IN THE EMAIL 

It seems all the Arabic public were waiting for this; they are very 
enthusiastic.” — lyad Awad, representative for the Iraqi company 
that set up Saddam Hussein’s first official home page (http:// 
chat.com.jo/iraq), on the email messages flooding Hussein’s new 
mailbox. Because there are no Internet facilities in Iraq, Hussein’s 
email arrives 500 miles away in 
neighboring Jordan and is sent to 
him by driver when enough mes- 

sages pile up. Smoke signals, ^ Mb = 

Morse code, and messages in 
bottles may still be speedier means 
of contacting Iraq’s fearless leader. i a | 



“Focusing is about saying no. You say no and you piss off 
people, and they go off and tell the San Jose Mercury News, and they 
write a nasty story about you, and it’s a real pfsser.” —Apple 
co-founder Steve Jobs, complaining about press coverage of 
Apple’s decision earlier this year to cancel research on promising 
technologies, such as OpenDoc, in a question-and*answer ses- 
sion at Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference in May ’97. 
We hope he never finds out what we say about his hair.
